Fasting has been practiced for thousands of years and has both spiritual and physical benefits.

Here is the article link:

Have you ever fasted?

I've tried an orange juice fast and the next day I felt refreshed.

I also met a holy man once, who fasted and prayed constantly. He understood that prayer and fasting in some instances elevate a person from the mundane to the divine.

I'll be posting the article shortly.

I started intermittent fasting Sept. 1 2010 and have been doing it on and off for a year. I started doing it as a way to avoid weight gain while rehabbing a hip injury and really loved the way it made me feel. It also resulted in 5 pounds of weight loss. I didn't need to lose those 5 pounds but losing them actually helped me perform better in aerial dance class.

I went off it all summer while my son was home from school. It was impossible for me to do it with him around. Now that he's back in school I started up again. I've been keeping intermittent fasting journal here in the forums since last year in both weight loss and exercise forums. I update them every time I do an intermittent fast. The only thing I have are a few cups of black coffee and water.

BTW, I really loved what you wrote in your article that "Fasting comes down to self control, a mastery over self and one�s desires." This is so true and it spills over into other areas of your life too.

Hi Monica,

I love the idea of a fasting journal! Fascinating and therapeutic!

I've tried the Master Cleanse of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne, but the combination doesn't work for me.

What also turned me onto fasting was a book I read by Jethro Kloss, "Back to Eden." He mentions a man that cured himself of arthritis by fasting one day a week.

There are many benefits to fasting & I'll be sure to check out your journal.

Thanks for sharing!
