> My biggest take-away though is that fasting has helped me practice self-denial to the point where I can handle my sweet tooth very easily now. Interesting. One of the benefits I've found from occasional food-abstinence is that I start remembering the distinction between (a) true hunger and (b) craving. IME (as a male), cravings are almost always for carbs. It takes days of limiting my carb intake for the cravings to subside.
