I was thinking of taking a couple of days to just chill out with a semi-fast (maybe just a couple of protein shakes and a piece of fruit or something) just to get my body cleaned out of the general crappiness. Or maybe even a total fast. Thoughts?

This is a good question.
You often read people say "don't worry about a slip up, just go back to normal and move on."
Well this is good in theory but what if the slip up just erase the whole week of deficit you just busted you ass for, you are feeling guilty and are about 10 secs away from throwing in the towel?
Answer?
Starve for a day THEN get back on track. And by starve I mean achieve the most aggressive deficit you can within a sane amount.
What is a sane amount?
You should know that one
