Fasting is supposed to be good for you. I have never really tried it. I do know if I overeat I feel like what you describe.

It doesn’t have to be bad – but ALWAYS check with your doctor before beginning a fast.

No, it’s very healthy to cleanse your body. It does slower your metabolism. So, if you’re worried about putting weight on it’s not a good idea. Also, depending on how long you do it, you can become constipated because your bowel shuts down as your stomach stops digesting food (you still need to eliminate toxins though).
It really has some amazing health and spiritual benefits. Don’t let anyone tell you anything like that. It’s your choice.

It’s bad for your tummy, but it’s good for the spirit.

Exercise is better. Take a long walk and I bet you feel great again.

Physiologically, fasting is not a good for you. In any case, your body needs the correct levels of vitamins and minerals to keep you healthy. As for the Muslims, they only fast during the daylight hours.

A fast won’t hurt. I don’t know if it will have the physical cleansing properties your looking for, but it will show you a lil insight on yourself. Let you know you can go a few days without food. I do think one day fast isn’t enough. Go a couple of days. It will be enlightening.
And no it will not hurt your metabolism.

Over eating makes you lethargic, just cut down, and no junk food.

Anyone who tells you that does not know what they are talking about. Are there “toxins” in your body? No!
Not eating is not a good way to regain your energy. It would be better to see what you are eating, and make it more balanced, and also this could be the sign of a more serious medical problem that people on this board can’t diagnose.

Fasting is great for a cleanse. Recently my sister had to go into the emergency room because she had too many toxins in her body. She’s doing a cleanse ware she only drinks organic apple juice (and water). I’m no expert, but you should probably do the fast for 2 days in a row. And maybe repeat the process in a few weeks.

Health wise, one day is not bad for most, but actually the Ramadhan month ritual can be detrimental to one’s health. Too much fasting causes the body to begin redigesting leftover waste products in the body, causing bad breath. Which is evident if you speak with a muslim when they’re deep into the Ramadhan month ritual.
Basically I wouldn’t worry too much about one day, but your best bet would be to get your physician’s recomendation, as fasting, even for one day can be dangerous for some. It mainly depends on how healthy you are in general.

I used to fast one day a week. It was a personal thing as I used to devote more time to prayer (I’m a Christian). I didn’t have any problems with it only I had to remember to drink more water (the flavoured, sugar free variety is pleasant). I stopped fasting as my stomach used to rumble very loudly which was rather embarrassing! I think it’s good to go without food occasionally and drink plenty of water. It flushes out your system. Perhaps you could also look at what you eat. You may have developed a sensitivity to a particular food. Wheat is a problem for a lot of people including me. We do tend to eat a lot of wheat in western countries, bread, pasta etc plus wheat derivatives listed in food ingredients. I tend to eat wheat free bread and corn cakes. Wheat can make my stomach bloated and cause me to feel tired and sluggish. I feel much better without it and making sure I drink enough water. After a month of going without a certain food you can then reintroduce it in plenty and see how you feel, whether you have a reaction over several days.

Fasting is an excellent way to rid the body of toxins and to increase your energy levels. I had a friend who fasted religiously two days a week, every week and trust me, he is in a much better health state than anyone I know. Also, speaking from a pharmacist’s experience, what types of foods are you eating? Fatty foods can actually cause some sluggishness and can lead to this “down” state that you’re feeling, believe it or not. Try eating healthier foods, like fish, for example. Fish is an excellent source of omega-3, which has been studied and linked to increasing levels of blood flow, your immune system and moods. You can also buy fish oil supplement pills, if you don’t like fish too much. Most importantly, be sure to get in a little exercise everyday. This regimen in conjunction with fasting is bound to improve your health.

fasting in Ramadan only is good, cuz we eat in the evening, but fasting as in starving isn’t good, it breaks your metabolism and give you stomach scars.

I fast for 19 consecutive days a year. Yes, Muslims fast, but so do we Baha’is. The fast lasts from sunrise to sunset, when we eat and drink nothing. Before sunrise and after sunset, we can eat and drink. Unless one is sick, or younger than 15, or older than 70, or pregnant, or menstruating, then the fast is fine. If for any reason the fast makes one sick, then they shouldn’t fast.
If you’re heatlhy, a sunrise-to-sunset fast will not harm you. However, if you’re lethargic, I don’t think a fast will rev up your metabolism. Have you seen a Dr? You say you get enough sleep, but do you eat enough? I would see a Dr for your fatigue. Usually, people who are always tired are not getting enough rest. However, if you’re getting good sleep, there must be another reason for the fatigue.
