Not that I have fasted for extensive times personally, but a plain water fast for thirty days just seems insanely long. I am not overweight anyway, and I eat a pretty healthy diet, but it would be nice maybe to juice fast once a week or something. I just couldn't see myself fasting for such an extended period of time, at least not at this point in my life. I think the main concern is that if I do a water fast, I'll have to be very careful with how I spend my energy, and if I do a juice fast, I'll have to spend so much time each day cleaning the damn thing. So it's more a question of practicality. If I want to juice fast, I'll have to do it for less than two weeks and I'll have to make my juice for the whole day in one sitting, as I do not want to clean my juicer multiple times each day. But I have a book called "Juicing and Detoxification," which I recommend, search those words on Amazon and you'll most likely be able to get some feedback on whether or not you think that book can help you. I'm still in the process of figuring out how I'm going to set time aside for a fast...but if you want tips, please read that book. Just don't stick with a fast out of pride or ego. If you need to eat at some point, eat. I don't want anyone dying on me now.
