But if that's If that's too easy for you and you're like, well, that's not, I don't feel like I'm sacrificing anything by just one meal. Like I want to go no food at all and maybe just some water or a couple of pieces of bread, you know, bread and water. then that becomes your fasting.

Well, I also find like even the Middle Eastern Christians, like the Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, they're much more culturally rigorous when it comes to fasting. Right. not just meat, but no dairy. And same thing with Muslims, no dairy, I believe no meat, no dairy, no oils.
