Thanks for this piece @suesa
I'm combining my two comments...
The Only time the body tells you about a way out is the only time when things have gotten out of hand.... That is when there are symptoms of deviation from wellness... When it is now a must to do or carry out palliative remedies
The belief that whenever you are fasting, it literallly means You're conducting a prayer also.. Fasting goes err'where prayer goes.
That's the believe we have most times....
I also belong to that category but, I have widen up and realized the truth, now I have to make it a point of duty to decrease my meal to twice per day, Brunch and Dinner... Takes Brunch between 12pm and 2pm, the Dinner around 7pm and 8pm.... And my health status have changed since then...
It's not a matter of not having what to eat, cos that is what some people would think... But for longetivity of life....
