Thanks! Several people have told me about this too. I will try it.

  It also might be easier to tolerate if you do a ketogenic (very high fat, moderate protein, very low carb) diet for a week or two before. That way you transition to burning exclusively fat, but you can still eat. The not eating thing is actually pretty tolerable if you are already ketotic. But the transition to ketosis can be rough, and it's easier if you can eat while that happens. One of the biggest things when you fast or do a ketogenic diet, you lose a lot of water (and with it, salt!), so maintaining electrolyte balance is huge. Your blood pressure will go down, and you'll feel awful if you don't add in some salt.
