Dr Shelton was the expert on fasting when he was living.
He had a fasting place in San Antonio, TX for many years,

at that place was 90 days.

When fasting at home, you can fast 3 to 7 days, but you
need to learn how to break a fast. You start with watermelon

breaking it takes 7 days.

Fasting one day a week is OK, unless you have a serious

The hardest part can be breaking the fast. You have a
tendency to eat too much. One man fasted 24 days and
then went to a restaurant and had a large steak dinner.
He died in the hospital within 2 days.
