i wanted to ask you about fasting. Real fasting not the one main meal and two smaller meals.
Is there a special day for fasting?
We, as a family refrain from meat on Fridays--but Id also like to fast as well.

I'd like to add fasting to my weekly repertoire.
I already abstain from meat on all Fridays as the Church directs, but like to add on another day fasting. I see in the early Church they fasted on Weds and Fridays. Why Wednesdays?
What is a real fast? I am not crazy about the current definition where you can have one main meal and two smaller ones--not sure they would be considered even a diet.
Are there any rules? Is is just bread and water? Cheese on the bread?
Any advice appreciated

In the Eastern Orthodox church we abstain from meat & dairy on all Weds & Fri's of the year. The reason for Weds is this was the day Judas conspired to betray Jesus.
