Fasting

This is just a general diet question, as I know about everyone here is doing quite the opposite:

I was talking to someone about dieting, and they mentioned that they fast 1 day per month. 24 hours, no food. He said something about "cleaning out your system" or something. It seems crazy to me. Is there any benefit to doing something like this?

Again, I'm not thinking of trying this at all, I couldn't do it even if I tried, I'm sure. Just curious of the effects it would have on someone.

if you follow a healthy lifestyle there aren't going to be a lot of toxins present in your body to begin with...I have never seen any medical study where fasting had any type of overall positive effect...

1 day fast is not going to clean out the system. If they want a true cleanse without going to extreme, I've read 7 day fast is required to cleanse the system.

and you'll need to use some cleansers drinks/tablets

No you don't need any of those while fasting. Your body takes care of detoxifying itself.

somewhere in between I'd say: 3-4 days cleans out the system just fine.

yeah i doubt 1 day would do much

why not follow David Blaine and go for 44 days?

well thanks for all the info. looks like it's not really the best idea to me. pretty pointless.

7 day fast? 3 - 4 day fast? Can people even survive on this?

I have to fast for a Jewish holiday friday night - saturday night, and I'm nervous...

without food...yes
without water...no

People can survive for months without food. If they are juice fasting then people may even be able to survive years without food. Granted they will look like nothing but skin and bones but they will survive.

When, for some reason I haven't eaten for too long, which doesn't seem to happen anymore

, I would get so hungry so fast. It's almost crippling, I feel so sick if I dont get anything in me. I can't imagine going an entire day.

I eat every three hours. I would die if I didn't have my food. (not seriously but would be a B*TCH from hell without it)
