Practical methods for personal transformation, drawn from direct experience, Christian monks, Buddhist teachers, Taoist philosophers, and ancient Indian texts.

From weight loss and improved health to renewed energy, inner peace, and a different way of living.

When food stops arriving, the human body doesn't simply run down like a phone with a dying battery.

The real skill is choosing a sensible duration, carrying on with life, recognizing when something needs attention, and returning to eating appropriately.

Fasting has appeared in different traditions for different reasons, often without a single shared origin.

I like this stuff. Is there actually a good reason why?

What the science supports, what anecdotes can tell us, and where concentration or plant-defense chemistry complicates the picture.
