Talking about fasting to clean out the system, I have an exercise book that recommends eating nothing for the whole day when you have nothing strenuous to do, lazy day in other words.

I have not done it yet but am going to give it a go soon, my problem is that I don’t have many lazy days.

Some very good replies, I was thinking about it like this.

Say I fast for one complete day, I believe in drinking water so it will not be a true fast but just having nothing to eat on every Saturday would save a minimum of £5 a week.

If that money was then sent home to help some people in need it would make a small difference to somebody’s life, £20 a month may not be much but imagine if we all did it!
