Fasting?

[Brighter.Tomorrow]

I was reading that fasting once a month 4days a month is good for you?
I was wondering if anyone had every tired this and how you feel afterward.

Keep in mind; Fasting. Not eating disorder.

[Mr. Smithers]

Many religions practice Ramadan which is a form a fasting.

The only time where I was forced to fast was before I had to get my tonsils removed. You couldn't eat anything for a day.

I wouldn't purposely do that. But people who do try that have a big feast afterwards, so I assume that you would feel very hungry.

I practice Ramadan, although never for the whole month. I find that I don't get too hungry (except in the last few minutes), but just miss being able to eat whenever I feel like it.
Yes, fasting can be good for you as it helps detoxify your system, but I'm not sure how often you'd have to do it.

[Giles]

I can't really imagine how/why it would be good for you.

Your information is incorrect. Short fasts, of about a day long, are good for fully grown adults because it cleanses the sysem. However, it is not a good idea for a teenager because your body is still developing and you need all the nutrients you can get. Also, 4 days is extreme, as I said, 1 days fasts.

I can fast. After about lunch, I feel fine for the rest of the day, it seems like im not hungry.

Alternate the days you fast, that is the proper way to do it. Never two days in a row.

If you are just looking to detox, you can try limiting the food you eat to just fruits. A week is a good duration for this.
