Dr. Hoo,
I have fasted on purpose, but the idea seems interesting. I want to try it someday. Would you recommend fasting to a non-religious person?

You could try giving it a shot. I find myself displaying more discipline during the fast. Perhaps because I don't want the sacrifice to be wasted, it also becomes an impetus for change.
Why do you say that you are subjecting yourself to "brutality" -- i think that adjective does not capture the idea of the fast :-)
But Dessi, there is surely something brutal about forcing oneself out of bed at 5am, to try and eat a sandwich that, on the first day of the Fast seemed so yum, but now tastes almost close to cardboard. ;)
