I don't even do sports. I learned about fasting when I took some nutrition classes. I only have the experience of eating one meal a day because I was too busy. I always feel very good afterwards. NOT EATING ACTUALLY SAVED ME TIME and MONEY, too! Yes, we are so lucky to be living in America. But it will be good to fast (or go on fruit and water diet) once in a while. BTW, sleep does make me forget the hunger. FS, Haha…I can’t fast because I love to eat. I don’t even do sports. I learned about fasting when I took some nutrition classes.

I've had many a day when I don't want to fork over another $35 on delivery, haven't been to the grocery store in 2 weeks, and can hear my stomach growling from across the street. It's a great way to go through that last can of soup I don't like, the last bag of popcorn, and the half bag of stale saltine crackers that have been there for longer than I'd like to remember. I clean out the pantry, save money, and make room for the groceries I will eventually get around to buying. ah yes.
