I'm a Muslim and I'm fasting. Kirameo said you can drink when you are fasting but this is not true. You can't have food, water or any drink. You can't have anything.

From Merriam-Webster

intransitive verb

What you're refering to should be called a religious fast, moreover a muslim fast for that matter.

Can I drink milkshakes and/or protein shakes?


I think someone else asked this. Its my fault for not clarifying in the OP I guess. In my thinking you basically live on water for 10 days. eehhh.. maybe juice...but no shakes or protein shakes. No food or anything thick that would make you feel full.

As long as you have no major health issues a normal human is able to survive a few weeks up to over a month without food. So basically you starve yourself for 10 days with no fear of death or long term ill effects. You just feel like total crap with no energy and will likely lose some fat and muscle.


i won't mind, i like to challenge myself.

I'll skip on food for 10 days. Mainly because I've done it before so I know I can, and I'm on holiday currently and I could certainly benefit from losing the extra weight.

Not eating for 10 days, surely. It is actually healthy (provided you drink water).

You actually have a valid point. Studies do show that going through a period of not eating actually allows the human body to focus on getting rid of toxins in the body and is a good body cleansing technique.

Yes and the term of that is called fasting where you only eat one meal and fast for the entire day. Not eating for 10 days is unhealthy and will cause your body to start eating up your muscles because you won't be using your muscles (since you're weak) so your body will confuse the muscle for fat (it's easier for the body to burn muscle than fat).

That being said, I think I can go a year without gaming. I only play on the weekends anyways so I don't think skipping a year would be too difficult for me.


Actually, you are wrong. Fasting means NO FOOD. The best you can do is drink some kind of juice.

Your own definition from the dictionary says otherwise.

Resort to a non-violent protest against this devilish thread.

Your own definition from the dictionary says otherwise.

Still, when people refer to fasting, they most of the time mean abstaining from food entirely. Any other meaning you give to fasting will be a sub-branch and needs clarification.  It's like saying "I slept for 4 days". It could mean that you were asleep for 4 days or that you had regular sleep for 4 days; if you don't clarify, and based on context, the former is the most likely to be infered  meaning.

Since I've gone without food for 11 days and that wasn't so bad(eventually your stomach stops hurting),

I'd go with not eating.
