Dear 100 and change;

You are on the right tract, in order to get not only your health back under control, but you will also find that a Fast can enrich your spiritual life!

A fast done right will put you back in total control of your body and even more your eternal future!

Recommend a book I read recently which goes to great length to show how fasting can and will improve your life and those around you! While the book goes into great detail, you can glean from it; the parts that you will be able to fathom and use to your eternal benefit! I did!

Ex. (PP 32 & 33) There are three types of fast found in the scriptures: an absolute Fast, a normal fast, and the partial fast.

-First an absolute Fast is extreme { no food or on water} and should only be done for very short periods of time. ...

-Then on a normal fast , you would typically go without food of any kind for a certain number of days {up to 21 days max.} But you should drink water , plenty of it and you can choose to take clear broth {like chicken noodle soup - w.o. noodles} in order to maintain your strength! It is best to start a normal fast for only a few days at first then work up later for longer periods...

-Partial fast is usually just part of a day up to maybe 24 hours in length... This would be the best place to start if you have never fasted before! A partial fast usually involves giving up certain particular foods { Sweets - meats } or drinks } for an extended period of time!

The whole crux of a fast is to gain learn to keep control of your body, so that you can live the life you want and not be a slave to food & drink as most of the Western World seems to be!

If I can help let me know... May God Bless you in your endeavor of fasting! One of the other pleasures and purposes of fasting is for some special purpose most of which will eventually change either your life or those for whom you fast!
