Bikram instructors advise that you go on an empty stomach, which, in my experience, is much easier than if I eat even four-six hours beforehand. This is probably one of the toughest things for me: fasting/detoxing. I've done detoxes before. The most vigorous one was in 2002 when I ate nothing but fruits and veggies for ten days.
