I am amazed at your discipline and mind power.

It sound like you are doing great. I just wonder if you see much difference in how you look after 20 days of no food. A friend of mine was really sick and had to be admitted to hospital and was put on drip for 5 days with no food. When he got back to work. He looks so pale and skinny and unwell.

I am also worry about the metabolism slowing down when the body is in starvation mode. How long does it take for the body to enter this mode? Does this mean that after a fast, your body will be so super efficient that it will store away everything you eat, an all the fat will come back with a vengeance with any amount of food that you eat. After the re-feeding period, would you be able to go back to some normality, by this I don't mean stuffing your face with bad food but be able to go out and have a normal dinner say once a week.
