At times I find that it is difficult to fast because of work or devotion to for instance an art. However once there is a break in the activity i immediately seem to fast quite naturally from food I am accustomed to during the day.

I find that while on a fast it is good to keep the mind active since the energy level is not usually as high as the body is not used to the energy of food not being consumed. Often coming off a fast can be too sudden as the ‘greed’ for food gains momentum quickly, and the body is now subject to the stimulating affect of food again.
