You only do without food and 'liquid' during those hours after dawn and before sunset which at this time of year is about 12 hours? (not sure).
Putting it into perspective, most of us do without food and water/drink during the hours when we are asleep anyway, which on average is about 8 hours a night.
So the body isn't actually being starved of either food or liquid, just taking the essential vitamins and minerals etc etc at a different time of day.
OK, so when one is asleep there is no 'suffering' from hunger pangs etc, but I guess you see what I mean.
This isn't a criticism of the 'fast' nor suggesting it isn't a hardship for those fasting during working hours, just pointing out what no-one has mentioned so far in this thread. Or did they? Haven't read it through again ....
