[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77189958, member: 330042"] That's not expelling toxins, that's more likely just burning ketones as fuel, something that happens if you are in a caloric deficit for more than a few days. I wouldn't recommend any rigorous fasting. Simply abstaining from meat and dairy, and limiting your food intake, is going to be helpful for alot of people looking to fast for spiritual reasons. When you eat alot, it burdens your body, particularly your digestive system, and that can interfere with the ability to concentrate. That's why many contemplative religious traditions encourage fasting. Not to punish the body or for some esoteric reasons, but simply because excess food and calories isn't actually all that great for your mind. [/QUOTE]
