Fasting

I'm curious to know if any of you fast as part of an Ayurvedic lifestyle. A couple of the books I have suggest Kaphas fast one day a week. I'm not sure about other doshas.

Do you do it for spiritual reasons? For longevity? For detoxing? All of them combined?

What benefits have you noticed?

    I'm going to give this a go on Sunday, mainly from a health point of view. I've seen the latest diet is the 5days normal eating and 2 days fasting, which I think is very Kapha, no?

    I think so, too!

    I'm quite keen to give the 5:2 a try. There's a group here on MFP for it as well.
