My husband and I are now “fasting partners”, and time our fasts together. However, I was traveling for a recent trip lasting 5 days. Instead of developing bad habits while I was gone, my husband completed a 5 day fast. He missed the comradarie, but loved the ease of knowing exactly what he was eating. Typically he would be eating out, and not always with the best choices. Instead, he felt better and stronger when I returned!
