DISCUSSION

My body is thin and lacks fat. David could have any food as he wanted. He could have as much of it as he wanted. But he was thin and lacked fat. He probably fasted quite often.

Fasting is only for those who are medically capable. Check with your health care provider. Experts say you need to be under the supervision of a doctor during the time of a fast.
