Ugh, fasting! I really should do it for religious reasons (I'm Wiccan and we fast for 3 days before each sabbat) but I can go about 6 hours before I'm a complete basket-case! I get crabby, all I can think about is food, and it doesn't do what it's supposed to do, which is purifying the body; most of my thoughts are NOT pure while I try to fast! LOL So I try to do all liquids, i.e., soups and slimfast-type drinks.
As far as dieting, I can't see how it's good because your body would think it's starving and when you start eating again, your body will hold on to everything thinking it might happen again. It seems to be a traumatic thing for a body to go through (which explains why a lot of religions use it as a tool).
