I've contemplated doing it every new moon actually. I've not been able to convince my body to go along with it, however, I'm still trying.
The first time, I ended up sleeping a lot and I resported to tea only because it seemed to trick my stomach into thinking it had gotten a meal. Eventually I want to get to the point where, depending on the focus of the fast, I will ingest certain teas which are symbolic, and/or known for certain effects.
When I was about 13, I attempted a 7 day fast and sleep-deprivation experiment and ended up dry-heaving and hallucinating for an extra two days. I barely remember the later half of that week because of the intense effects I was experiencing. Just water for the whole time. This time, I decided to start smaller and wrok my body towards higher and better.
