Yup. Fasting is not rocket science, especially the first 1-2 weeks. You just obviously need water, and water without electrolytes will eventually start tasting like vodka (as I found out the hard way during my libertarian political stunts in jail). That's why they put a bit of baking soda in all the intravenous hydration bags (which they didn't use on me, I guess 23 days isn't too serious). The hard part is motivation, and it's getting harder because of the "fat acceptance" scumbags - they're ruining other people's lives in addition to their own.
