        OK - Ramadan started, fasting today, I'll take it one day at a time and I hope I manage to get through the day.

        So far no problems, I can't believe it no coffee withdrawal symptoms, (mind you I usually have one coffee a day, and I take it around 10:30 am, not first thing)

        Lets hope I am a wake the rest of the day, I have just started a new contract

          Do what you like to yourself in the name of religion. Just don't do anything to anybody else in its name. Especially not to me.

                  The medical benefits of fasting are as a result of fasting. Fasting in general has been used in medicine for medical reasons including weight management, for rest of the digestive tract and for lowering lipids. There are many adverse effects of total fasting as well as so-called crash diets. Islamic fasting is different from such diet plans because in Ramadan fasting, there is no malnutrition or inadequate calorie intake. The caloric intake of Muslims during Ramadan is at or slightly below the national requirement guidelines. In addition, the fasting in Ramadan is voluntarily taken and is not a prescribed imposition from the physician.

                  Ramadan is a month of self-regulation and self-training, with the hope that this training will last beyond the end of Ramadan. If the lessons learned during Ramadan, whether in terms of dietary intake or righteousness, are carried on after Ramadan, it is beneficial for one's entire life. Moreover, the type of food taken during Ramadan does not have any selective criteria of crash diets such as those which are protein only or fruit only type diets. Everything that is permissible is taken in moderate quantities.
