Long Term Fasting

Has anyone heard of this? I've read two articles recently about people fasting for many days. This one is about fasting with beer and water for 46 days. There was a longer article in Harper's this month about a 17 day fast, with only water.
The body switches over after a couple days to consuming things called ketones in your fat, which nourishes the body. When we eat, this process isn't necessary since the body consumes the fat in the food we eat.
It seems interesting, but I doubt I'd ever have the willpower. I wouldn't be able to give up the ganjah for that long.

There's no reason to purposely submit yourself to starvation.
