have you ever tried fasting? and what did you get out of it?

Water fasts are dangerous and unnecessary. Juice fasting with colonic irrigation is the ideal detoxification protocol.

There are some very good colon-cleansing programs too, which utilize herbs and psyllium with colonic irrigation recommended. I've done Robert Gray's (3 or 4 times) and Arise & Shine (twice). I felt great during and after both. In both cases I ate a small amount of fruit or vegetables, or drank juice, daily, while doing the cleanse. One time I fasted completely (no food or juice, but of course water) for a week doing an accelarated Arise & Shine cleanse and I felt great, too. I am thin as well, so not a whole lot of fat stores. The idea was to detox the digestive tract. The herbs provide some nutrition besides helping to cleanse the system.

I have also done the "lemonade diet" fast. It's easy and you don't feel hungry because you are getting fresh lemon and a bit of maple syrup with cayenne as a drink in water. It tastes really good, too.
