[Error: unknown template qotd]No, I don't think I have the self-discipline. I do wonder if there would be benefits though.

I think the main benefits are that you know you can do it and have confidence in your ability to control your life, plus if you have never starved for any involuntary reason, it can help to understand your body's limits and experience hunger the way many people and most of the living creatures on the planet do. It helps to have a context too, such as a religious or social reason to fast with other people for a purpose. That can also be empowering.

One thing that my once-ever fast did for me was give me a great appreciation for the flavor of the food I ate immediately afterward.
