Carnivorous / Zero Carb Approach / Re: Water-Fasting

I don't think anybody can give you a definite explanation of what's going on. The benefit from water fasting, I believe, lies in giving your digestive system a rest rather than in detox. I'm not sure if it works for everybody, though. I for one can't fast without feeling terrible, and it will make me crave bad foods, too, so whenever I went off the fast, I destroyed any possible benefits by overeating crap. If you feel alright on the fast, then just go on and don't eat anything, because that will skew the results of your water-fasting experiment. You'll never know if water fasting is good for you because you didn't really water-fast if you experiment with eating fats during the fast. I'd leave those experiments for a later time.
