I've just seen John Malcovic on Grayham Norton then flicked over to channel five where Kim Wilde and some other celebs went on a detox holiday..
Was wondering if anyone has ever fasted?
Is it worth it? I'm thinking of trying to eat fruit and veg for a week or so and seeing what a difference it makes (and hopefully not smoking) but perhaps it will just mean that afterwards I'll go back to eating pies and chips and put weight on, get spotty etc.

But the fruit and vegetable thing, thats basically being a veggie for a week, and its dead easy. I could certainly feel the difference after a month of not eating meat, but then i started microwave meals and now i dont eat much at all, so it can go either way really. depends on yourself i think.
I've never fasted for religious reasons or anything thouhg. Probably because Im an aethiest!
a fast is a fast - and should be water only if done at all. there are lots of alternatives, one being, making sure you don't get in a state in the first place.
As to one day fasts, most of us eat way too much anyway and missing a couple of meals should be okay. Try to do something else constructive at meal times. in religion fasting is never just fasting but prayer and fasting: ie you doing something with the time.
