What is the purpose of waiting 1 hour after sunset to break fast?

Official sunset time for where I am is 6:49pm (GMT -7)

9/25/2012 7:19:53 PM

what a dumb thing, religions are dumb

9/25/2012 7:21:17 PM

^^Ah okay, one of my coworkers said she can't break fast until an hour after sunset "just to be sure" and I wasn't sure if that was a standard thing or what.

9/25/2012 7:23:00 PM

So God uses GMT? That's weird.

9/25/2012 7:25:13 PM

no, bdmazur is just saying what time sunset is; his time zone is GMT-7 (subtract 7 hours from GMT to get local time), which is consistent with living in Pacific Daylight time

^^no, he is giving a sunset time for a huge giant time zone. Its weird that God uses a totally arbitrary, man-made, discrete way of dividing sunset times. Weird that he uses GMT

Some more traditional folks will do that, but I'm pretty lenient. Sometimes I'll call it a full 24 hours (like the last thing I ate today was at 6:30, so I have no problem breaking at the same time tomorrow).

I doubt you really know much about my religion, so take your troll ass elsewhere.

The sunset time I gave is the official time for Santa Barbara, California, not for the entire time zone. I just clarified the time zone as opposed to telling you all 10pm and confusing everyone as to when the fast ends.

Feeling pretty good (and pretty drunk) now. Go 24 hours without eating then take a few shots, it's fun.

9/27/2012 1:04:08 AM

haha idk why I laughed so hard at the pizza and cookies, because it seems like the logical thing to do if you're gonna take a picture of it


and left beef is always a winner

Anyone regularly fast? I can't imagine not eating anything from the moment i wake up to the moment i go to bed, but want to try. Supposed to be good giving your digestive system a break

9/12/2025 9:26:06 PM

Why not? You already don't eat anything from the moment you go to bed until the moment you get up. It's just swapping things around.

9/13/2025 7:27:39 AM

Haha The Coz, I like the way you think about things!

This is not a heathy practice!


eating while asleep is a severe choking hazard!

Many millions of adherent Muslims do this for a month every year. Eat when waking and before bed and let your usually longer waking hours be your fasting hours. You can adapt very easily. I usually eat at around 1:00 PM and then between 6:30 and 7:00 PM (out of habit, not religious conviction). I don't feel any hunger pangs or noticeably reduced mental or physical performance. But I can easily shuffle around and eat early if breakfast is provided and I have a high likelihood of missing either lunch or dinner. Three full meals a day can be a tough adjustment when traveling with others who demand it.

I ate so terribly yesterday i'm trying to fast today...never done it. I noticed i want to eat

9/9/2026 3:28:36 PM

I fast through breakfast everyday. It’s a smaller part of a larger plan of losing weight. I’ve lost 32 lbs so far, so it seems like it has been working. I’ve been losing since January though, so this by no means has been a quick weight loss fix.

It wouldn't be so bad if i could drink milk or fairlife etc. i did have some coffee but i heard you can do that
