one more thing....you can detox plenty with lc and eating good organic foods and healthy fats. you wont lose as quickly but you also will not lose muscle and you will not have the problem of messing up your metabolism....you will probably increase your metabolism. after a fast, you have to eat very little and work up so you dont gain alot. i would not think it worth it unless you have some serious illness where it can benefit. otherwise i would just do a very "clean" locarb and see where that gets you....just some thoughts.....
