This is an article on the placebo effect. It made me wonder if some of the trouble I have with fasting and some of the great successes I have had are due, in some part, to the placebo effect and how can I harness that to my benefit? Is convincing myself that fasting is super easy and will lead to greater weight loss possible? Is my recent trouble a loss of faith in the cure? Makes a body wonder. It is a kind of long article, just a warning.
