Fasting is a determinant discipline that empowers you to say no to the impulse of immediate gratification.
The thought behind the quote
"Fasting anything is to subject a desire for something less, to something you want more. With over 40% of Americans approaching obesity, the problem is not about food or some obesity genetic predisposition. Anything done in excess leads to some type of obesity. Obesity in any form it manifests, is not about food, but excess and a lack of discipline.
Fasting food from time to time, is a determinant discipline because if you can say no to food hunger, you can say no to other impulsive cravings that potentially have explosive consequences. When you say no to anything that immediately gratifies, you discipline yourself to say yes to a future that satisfies tomorrow.
Fast one day a week just to train your impulses to be subject to your choices."
