Well I do not know about all that man, it can be really bad for you if you take it to far “anorexia” but its not as bad as being like 50 ponds overweight. I have also heard some studies that say a starvation diet can actually be much better for you, and can equal a much longer life. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/...in514443.shtml their are many other studies being done now about this as well, I am sure the people that sell diet food will say differently, but fasting can really be Very healthy.
