I think fasting is great for the body and can help train your system to become a fat burner instead of a sugar burner, but some people get confused and starve themselves instead. Once your body starts digesting its own muscle as an energy source, the purpose has been defeated. That purpose being promoting muscle growth -- which is the main thing anyone should do if they want to lose fat. I try to explain this concept to friends and family and they look at me like I have 2 heads.
