Agree. I think being full sends some signal to your brain that it shouldn't eat... and that full feeling tends to carry over to the fast day. So the fast day isn't as bad as you might think.

Whereas... when I used to eat moderation calories every day... I never got full... and thus.. the full signal never got activated. I was always in a state of wanting food and what I got was never enough.
