One of the benefits is that I don't have any fear of hunger if I were not to have enough resources to buy food.

That's so true! I fear none of it anymore though it takes time to get used to but once I am reminded that fasting brings a lot of benefits both physically and spiritually, I am actually pretty fine with it.

For me, I quite like it too because when I work and have so many things to do, I prefer not to eat to keep my mind clear. These days, I have quite a bit to do so it takes my mind off from food or to eat. It made me learn that we actually need very little to survive and for sustenance.

Another thing that fascinates me is that perhaps it is basically our fear to be stripped of important resources, in this case food which in my case translates as security.

May be irrelevant but myself is obese for now and fasting certainly help me to get back to where I used to be, slowly but for sure!
