Hello,
Someone I know said she is trying to fast. She said that “true” fasting is eating only bread and water. I was under the assumption that fasting was either (1) giving up something you like to eat or (2) eating one small meal a day with 2 other meals that do not equal the one larger meal, or is that only for lent? What is the official church teaching on this? If there is no OFFICIAL teaching, do you have any idea where she is getting this information? Any information would be helpful. Thank you and God Bless!
