"You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God." Matthew 5:6 The Message We live in hungry times. Ours is a consumer culture, predisposed to quickly fill the cravings of body and mind. The idea of fasting--the voluntary denial of something for a specific time, for a spiritual purpose--sets us immediately on edge. But Lynne Baab makes the case that anyone can fast. Fasting is an expression of freedom. Free from the patterns and habits that mark everyday life, from time to time we can move beyond our appetites into meaningful encounter with God. In Fasting you'll discover an ancient Christian practice that extends beyond giving up food to any regular activity in our contemporary lives. You'll see how taking a break from eating--or driving, or checking e-mail, or watching television--opens us up to discover new things about ourselves and God and the world around us. You'll see that while not everyone should forgo food, anyone can step out of routine to feed the soul. In a time of great spiritual hunger, God invites us all to a feast: fellowship with the Creator of the universe, where all our truest needs are identified and attended to.

The 5:2 fast is one of the easiest and quickest ways for you to lose weight. It works with your body, helping you to burn fat and weight without counting all the calories and while still being able to go on a diet that works around your schedule. The idea behind this diet plan is that you will pick two days during the week where you will keep your calories low, usually under 500 to 700 for the whole day. As long as these days are not back to back, they can be any day that you would like. Pick a few days during the week when you are usually really busy and it won't seem so bad. For the other five days of the week, you will be able to eat regular calories. You should be careful about not going overboard, but if you eat a relatively healthy diet, even if you splurge a little bit on these other five days, you will still end up taking fewer calories thanks to those two fast days. It is that simple! The hardest part of this diet plan, and many other diet plans, is finding the right recipes to make it work. You want to lose weight, but if you feel deprived all the time, you will give in to the cravings and never see the results that you want. This is where this guidebook can come in!
