    What? No, with medical supervision (aka: infusions of necessary vitamins or whatever and proper water intake) it's actually very unlikely you're in any danger fasting for a month. I've done fasts multiple times and honestly once you get past the first few days you feel pretty good.

    It takes a couple of days for your body to completely give up on using carbohydrates and after that you start feeling less tired, and most of the bad initial side effects can be negated by immediately drinking more water mixed with electrolytes to front load the loss you'll experience right away. Obviously you need to continue drinking electrolytes and maintaining some kind of intake of vitamins. With medical supervision you can get regular testing done that makes clear what you might be missing and that makes it far easier/safer
