Im Jewish so I fast a couple times a year. Obviously its not the same as what you guys do, but yes, on NON-major fasts like tzom gidalia and t'sha b'av, I do drink water if it is VERY hot, but on Yom Kippur I do not
why don't u mention the part of the "Quraan" when it says to "show your might to non muslims", islam was spread by the sword, u become one of them or u die the religion sucks gtfo
i don't particularly agree that fasting is good for you but, like mustang said if it works for you go ahead.
it's not only abt the food and drink. the main pont of fasting is testing your patience. besides not consuming anything, you cant curse (as much lol), cant smoke, cant pick your nos, etc. im fasting myslef. 1st time in fact away from the family. having a great time. saving abt five bucks a day (student with no steady income and it's quite a lot) and breaking fast with friends is the best. i feel better after beaking fast. proud that you've been able to overcome it.
well imo food is just evil...I know it's really not...that's just the part of me with the ed...so I like starving myself...but never for too long...and I don't consider like eating only when the suns down fasting...that's just choosing when to eat... and after 3 days of fasting you go thru ketosis that makes it difficult for some ppl...but it's actually not hard...
Good thing you become healthy :lol: Damn I love you all people who want to fast with us! Damn if only I could hug you all generous people! :wub:
ah good point. i don't think i can do that anytime soon. i'm actually trying to gain weight. although, i've heard that not eating actually makes you gain more weight.
haha that means travel the world!! Ye im fasting too DIdnt know there were more Muslims at GR than I knew - DarkStar
Don’t need religion to teach me what is good or not for my body, education is the key. All types of meats will destroy the body and eating like a pig will also do it. Feasting is bad; eat what the body needs coz it uses only a bit to live. Stay away from all fast foods, hamburgers and fried stuff. Bread of all types but WHOLE WHEAT BREADS are harmful too and so are foods with high Glycemic loads. Stay away from preserved foods, stay away from hotdogs which promote cancer in the long run. If that fasting works for all of you, do it even if you are not a religious person.
I have lost 8 pounds since I started fasting. I think it is manily becuase I have to go to football pratice and I dont drink any water so I just lose all this weight. I hope I dont loose too much. lol
