Hi just thought if anyone has tried fasting as the muslim community are doing it at the moment, seems too much and a lot of effort

No i'm not muslim, or daft.

I worked nights for 6 months - which as far as I can tell was the equivalent of what my muslim mates do during Ramadan!

I read it as fisting.

I fasted on beer for 45 days for lent this year. That for an English person is eternity.

It was a struggle but it meant something to me.

not eat for 12hours. Yep most days. It's not true fasting as I understand it.

The word 'testicles' springs to mind, actually not that word but but something conveying the same sentiment.

Nope.

If you count a Friday liquid lunch then yes...

lol but it's true

Pikey · 3 Sep 2009 at 22:46

Nope since i get hungry way too fast...

IMHO, they don't "fast" as they binge eat at certain times

.

I once followed a strict traditional diet for lent (out of interest, not religion). I lost over 3 stone, in 40 days. Nearly died. Only ate vegetables cooked with water, fruit, nuts, bread and honey.

I hated nuts, so that limited my fat intake dramatically, and I still can't eat honey to this day. Overdose.....
