But a quick google of 'Insulin' & 'Caffeine' shows some studies (some recent) that conclude that Caffeine is not so good with respect to its effect on Insulin. They mention that caffeine may decrease insulin sensitivity & raise insulin levels, which from reading your book is not a good thing with respect to getting to the 'fat burning' stage during the fast. Have you looked in to this much, do you think we should be also avoiding caffeine on a fast day? Thanks, Darrin Hi Brad,

My research only covered short term fasting – from 12 hours to 72 hours.

I don’t really have any expertise in long term fasting.

Sorry I Couldn’t be more help.

Do you think a lot of muscle mass would be lost? Brad, what do you think of doing a water fast for 7-10 days straight? Do you think a lot of muscle mass would be lost?

all is can say is..oh well.

I’m starting to realize people are taking negative stances against fasting just to get some internet traffic attention.

No matter how good the idea, there will always be naysayers.

I’ve considered changing my stance on diet soda, but I keep coming back to the same dilemma,

Which is better for you health – Losing weight if you are overweight, or avoiding drinking 1 or 2 diet colas per week?

I’m still on the side that losing weight is more important.

However, when possible, I fully encourage someone to try fasting without diet soda.
