Don't do it fast, do it half-fast

quoth my dad. See, it's funny, because "half-fast" sounds like "half-assed." Get it?

I'm trying an experiment today: fasting. It seems like a healthy thing to do every once in a while, or at least something that might have a lot of health benefits, and doesn't seem to have any negative health effects (I mean, I'm not wasting away). Sources? Wikipedia is good enough for me. Plus a lot of new-age loonies. Plus the fact that, whenever I don't eat for a while, I feel pretty good. I'll let you know how it goes.
