[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1520745, member: 6467"] Flippant answer: fasting voluntary, starving isn't. Starving is generally eating little or nothing over a long period so that your body starts to take desperate measures to keep you alive. Survival reactions. Fasting is refraining from eating (or drinking) something for a shortish period. People may eat an evening meal at 18:00 and not eat again until 12:00 the next day. That would be a fast of 18 hours. With fasting, you usually break your fast (breakfast?) and eat normally until the next fasting period. [/QUOTE]
