Personally I think a 10-14 day fast would be dangerous and downright unhealthy. But that being said, I found the essay comical. It reminded me of a good sex and the city episode. I love the "Hey Baby" weight, and spending all of her time trying on clothes that didn't fit the day before...everyone knows being 10 pounds lighter does put a zing in your step, BUT I wouldn't advocate going about it this way!

Good luck!
