Depends on the reason for the fasting. If it is to lose weight, forget
it; it lowers your metabolism, and is counter-productive. If it is for
purgative purposes, you have to do it for quite a while (at least 10 days,
I think) to see any real results. If it is for religious purposes, then
you should discuss it with your spiritual advisor; the benefitsof that are
not necessarily physical, but it does demonstrate the ability to subdue
the "flesh."
