Gonna check this out on my way home. I did a few water fasts, too, and am interested in your experience.

Please don't, this is not healthy.

If you work with a doctor, it's no big deal.

There's a doctor that will recommend starving instead of controlling your diet?

People have been fasting for way longer than a week without starving. Starvation doesn't happen voluntarily, and it doesn't happen under the eyes of a doctor.

If your choices are living with the consequences of obesity and a week of controlled ketosis, it's on you to decide which way to take.

Comparing a one week fast with starvation seems hyperbolic, to say the least.
