    I was wondering if anyone here has ever fasted? I have once before for 11 days last year. Water only. I am on my second day of my second fast now, trying for 14 days this time. Any others? What's your experiences?

    Never tried it. Do you do it for religious reasons or to rid your body of toxins or something??

    But I agree, I don't believe in traditional fasting...

    You are joking right? that cant be healthy.

    There is a nice grape method around, its not fasting, but you can only eat grapes for 10 days. Must be better than fasting , humans are build to eat, not to fast.

    Folks, fasting is a spiritual exercise. Fasting is one way to develope our spiritual bodies, it became known in the west through yogic science.

    Besides I really don't think I could do it.

    Well I don't really like food so it's not that tough for me. With Lent I have no choice though.
