I am doing one of the fasting systems in islam. I have been doing it for around two month.

What i am experiencing in observing this are mainly good things, which are:

- I can controll my eating habits into a good systematic way, in sahoor and iftar. Before I would eat regardless of time or my hunger level, it is just difficult for me to moderate myself.

- My state of mind seems improved quite a lot. I am more aware of my self, my being, my hunger, and many other aspects in my life.

- I can taste food a lot more better, before I would just stuff anything as long as it is there. After I got used to the fasting, I am more selective of what I eat and enjoy each bite with great gratefulness.

Of course there are several times that are difficult for me when I am doing it. But they are far out weighted by the better things.

This is based on my own experiences and they may differ with other people's.
