What is the maximum number of days you have fasted?

Seven days. No food at all, just water.

To focus on things spiritual.

Improved my circulation; cleared all blemishes from my skin, disassociated myself from false hunger and consumer food advertising, lost 14 pounds of overweight and sharpened my awareness.

Have never fasted more than four days at a time since; usually just two or three.days.

You do it if you belive god has told you to fast as a person or even a church the benefits of it is you will grow in you walk with jesus and most of the time the reason you fast is to show god that you are willing of what you want from him if you want a healing or somthing of importance so if you fast and it is gods plan he will answer your prayer

I did what we call a "full fast" for 48 hours once. And do a partial-fast (one light meal, plus vitamins and fluids) 2 days per week nearly every week.

There are physical, mental, and spiritual benefits.

In my younger days, I didn't have much money, often had foodless Saturdays, sometimes Fridays as well. It kept me fit and alert, and I was able to pay my bills on time.

Fasting doesn't damage the brain.

0.

I suppose you could lose weight that way, but the damage to your brain isn't worth it.
