Uh, I had to before I got some body scans and tests done when I was going to the doctor's office. But it was only a day. I wouldn't call it fasting. I've never done any religious fasting or stuff like that though.
i've gone up to 12 hours without eating, usually because food was not available for one reason or another. it was hell.
yes because I was afraid of the calories in toothpaste. dont worry, i like weigh 20 lbs too much now.
Nah. I was homeless 10 years ago, had to steal food, and it kinda left me unable to appreciate self deprivation. I can understand why other people would do it. I hoard food, and waste a little doing so. I went to a meditation and we didn't speak for a few days, all we had was a small soup in the morning and evening. Not really the same.
