This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I personally think it's the worst way to fast. In the end, you can still eat a lot of unhealthy stuff in the morning and in the evening (timing differs, easier in winter) while you can't drink any water during the day. Especially the latter part should just be a no go criteria for most people. Especially if you exercise physically in summer. Just completely whack in my opinion.

If the Christian way of fasting makes sense can be debated. But at least it raises no health concerns.

Anyone who has to do outside work is absolutely allowed to eat and drink water during the day. You wouldn't go work in your garden, but construction workers are not fasting.
