Hi Gordon, welcome to 3FC
It's always a good thing when someone recognizes the problems with their health and decides to do something about it
We hope you'll find support here to meet your goals of weight loss and better health!
However, I do need to mention that our community has a strict stand on supporting only healthy diets, and we do not offer a support environment for diet plans that are extremely unhealthy. We'd love for you to browse our various forums and read about other ways to reach your goals, and hopefully join in anywhere that looks interesting. But unfortunately we can't offer support for a water fast. There are a variety of websites out there that support water fasting and promote it through what is basically a dangerous myth. Water fasting is one of the worst things you can do for your body and should only be conducted for brief religious purposes.
You mentioned "
I wanted to relate my experiences to others to show that there is another way to deal with chronic ailments due to bad diet and a sedimentary life style." The best way to reverse the damage we do to our bodies is by doing the opposite, which means choosing healthy foods and increasing activity. Starvation is not the answer.
We wish you the best of luck with your goals, and we do hope you'll check out some of the other healthy ways of weight loss. I'm sure you'll find something that appeals to you and will help you reach your goals.
Thanks
