Fasting

Is fasting a good topic to discuss in detail? Is it a useful tool for self-actualizing?

Quite late, but maybe someone will stumble on this post.

I absolutely think it can be a very useful tool for self-actualization. First of all, food is a tremendous distraction and in 95% out of time stops our bodies to cleanse themselves both physically and mentally, because we tend to live to eat, not eat to live. Secondly, I think chemical addictions stop us from evolving. 

Personally, I would like to try it, but I'm already a very thin person and don't have a quiet environment to do it in peace, to rest properly.
 

Did you try it yourself?
