Are you fasting during Ramadan?

[lightbulb27]

You don't have to be a Muslim to fast, although Ramadan is Muslim rules. Christians fast based upon no schedule. Indian/Hindu fast periodically. Jews... who knows.

Fasting is proven to be healthy and Ramadan's rule is from sunup to sun down. So you better get started.

Read these rules... a lot of it is good spirited and healthy (mind, body, spirit).. cleansing!

As a Muslim, yes I will fast. It is mandatory for Muslims to do so. But of course there's relaxation for the sick and travellers who can compensate for it by fasting after Ramadan.

I did for 5 years when I was in Afghanistan as a show of unity with my partners/buddies. Not so much now that I'm home.

As a Christian I fast when the Holy Spirit leads me to and how the Holy Spirit leads me to.

I have starved in my younger years to the point i have collapsed and it was not fun. So due to traumatical experiences i associate hunger with unnecessary pain, that i always want to avoid.

I don't weigh enough to fast. I eat all the damn time and still don't weigh a lot.

[Iron_Man]

I’m not doing any fasting I’m a Christian I’ve already lost 57 pounds in the last year and I haven’t been dieting either

[Agape93]

No I have no reason to fast

[lightbulb27]

that's too bad. I see many wisdoms and benefits possible, makes total sense, taught by the great thinkers before us.
It's not about weight only.
you do you...

[Agape93]

I never said it was about weight. I simply have no reason to do it, literally or symbolically.
