Yeah that's my line of thinking. Holding the actual fast has not been an issue. The issue is consuming the required water without feeling sick (4L in about 2 hours is just not doable or even safe in my opinion and therefore if it drops below 4L I'll come out of fat burning.) Also I do not want my body to enter starvation mode...which I can see it doing. This diet plus Ramadan not during the winter means it's not feasable. My folks have also said...don't fast. I just need to get over the guilt of not doing so. I have never missed a fast other than for that time of the month.
