I never completed any sort of fast, but I did experience detox systems when I started to switch over to a diet called Natural Hygeine. It is a diet that advocates mostly raw fruits and vegetables, along with raw seeds, nuts, and minimal cooked food. The high amount of water in the foods I ate really cleaned out my body, so there may be a possibility that you can achieve most of the benefits of fasting without taking that plunge. Start by eating fruits/vegetables before noon and then gradually introducing more concentrated foods into the mix. Fruit and vegetable fasts are probably a bit safer, too. I can't really say for sure. I will have to try a real fast as well to give you accurate data.
