So, the end of my 12-week bulking period coincided with Advent, and I decided I wouldn't just cut, I'd go for a fast like Aurelius Moner suggests.
My regime is lenient comparatively: I can eat from 10-6, and allow myself fish and fowl. I usually eat around 10am, 2pm, 4pm, and 5:30pm. Each meal is quite light.
I dropped 4lbs the first day, but have not budged weight-wise since then.
My workouts at the gym are definitely more intense this way. I feel the burn much quicker, and can practically feel my muscles sucking up all the nutrition from my fat reserves.
As far as mental state, I can definitely see why most religious traditions include fasting. Your mind wanders into odd places. My friends have even noted I'm not my usual self.
All in all, week one seems to be a success. 2.5 more to go.

Cows die,
family die,
you will die the same way.
I know only one thing
that never dies:
the reputation of the one who's died.
