What does it mean to fast?

From C.S.I.

I do like the idea that fasting can be done in other ways than going without food. This is helpful for many people. For me though, traditional fasting is also important. I fast on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. During the rest of Lent, I keep a pescetarian diet. Come Easter, I am ready for
the great feast! This restriction of food helps me to keep focused on the purpose of the season, to draw closer to God. Perhaps traditional fasting is not for everyone, it’s for me though!
