A member asked:
What is your opinion on fasting twice a week? limiting oneself to 600 calories on the fasting days.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe : I assume you enjoy normal good health. Some of the world-faiths suggest taking a day out of the week to be hungry; takes one's mind off frivolous stuff and reminds you of world hunger. It'll help you stay slender and perhaps give you a greater appreciate for your body and for healthy eating.
