Fasting

Interesting study in today's Telegraph;

I recently fasted for 2 1/2 days, felt really fit, and lost around 4 pounds, but it seems to be an excellent regime in other ways. ^
Does anyone fast on a regular basis?

To be (very) serious; I don't think humans become so by hunger. Read Primo Levi's moving 'If this is a Man', an account of survival in Auschwitz.

Unfortunately some children I taught did so.

I know I have to strive extra hard during Lent to avoid getting crabby.

I think the longest I have fasted is about 4 hours, its a silly game!!

It might be alright if you don`t work but if I went to work and fasted, I would probably pass out after a few hours which isn`t very healthy.
