Fasting, as in limiting food intake is normal at retreat. Too much food makes one sleepy and lethargic. But fasting to the point of hurting oneself is not part of Buddhist practice. When I go to retreat we only eat two meals a day breakfast and lunch.

really food makes us want to sleep and lethargy, I feel with fasting (12 hours) do not eat and drink makes me more understand the meaning of life
