Maybe you would understand it if the term toxin was taken out of the mix. Other than ridding you of toxins stored in fat (which is in my opinion why we store most of our fat, to store toxins we are under too much stress to get rid of), fasting gives all of your waste elimination systems a break. It allows your digestive system a chance to rebuild the walls of your stomach small intestines and colon. It wouldn't have a chance if you keep shoving toxic food into it. It would be like trying to fix a motor while it was running. It also gives your liver, kidneys, and skin a chance to repair and rebuild. And you get that 30% of energy that digestion normally takes back to do it.
