    Fasting has been around for centuries-it's not a fad. It is used in Native ceremonies and it is believed to be cleansing. Most of the medicines we use today have come from Native people and every year there are more scientific 'discoveries' that Native people have known about for ages. Don't let judgmental trolls influence your decision. Marketing is everywhere-on documentaries, at your doctor's office, in scientific journals, *and* on MFP. Do what feels right for you. Try it. If you don't like it at least you can say you tried.

    Drinking juice is NOT fasting, it is a liquid diet. Fasting is taking in no nourishment (only water) for whatever period of time. You are right though, fasting has a long history and is usually done for spiritual reasons: deny the body so you can concentrate on the spirit.

    @earlnabby There are native ceremonies where you fast, but you only ingest specific food or drink. One person or culture's definition of a word is not necessarily universal. In the same way, one culture may fast to "deny the body so you can concentrate on the spirit", but it doesn't mean that that statement is universal or the totality of the significance of every fasting ritual.

    I think I will just stick to eating 1500-1800 calories (cuz food tastes yummy), exercising 30-40 minutes most days (cuz it makes me feel awesome) and drinking a good amount of water ( cuz peeing is super fun) all while losing the weight I need to. Thanks buh bye now!!! This is why mfp people are mean! ! Cuz......we are smart!!!!
