Buddhist tradition (Indonesia) holds that Buddha fasted for 35 years, and Christians tell of Jesus fasting for 40 days and 40 nights in the desert. I don't suggest you try either of these (unless you have the benefit of divine intervention!), but ...........

Fasting probably conjures memories of your experience on the 40 Hour Famine (...that you agreed to for the greater good, but hung out for the barley sugars and hoped there would be some weight loss pay-off!), or maybe ditching red meat, chocolates, coffee or wine for Lent.
