This just occurred to me: Fasting should not be called fasting, because any time you starve yourself on purpose for days at a time, I would think the experience would be anything but fast.
I'm going to take this a step further. Next time I'm at a restaurant, I will refer to the time frame that I don't eat in between an appetizer and a main course a fast. "Sorry, that looks really good but I can't eat for another 3 minutes... I'm fasting."
