The answer

It is recommended to fast on Mondays and Thursdays because these are the days when the deeds of people are presented (to Allah). The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to fast on these days and said: "Deeds are presented on Monday and Thursday, and I love that my deeds be presented while I am fasting."
