Fasting, the voluntary giving up of food, is as old as the Bible: The season of Lent, which many Christians observe starting February 25, Ash Wednesday, is meant to recall the forty days Jesus spent in the desert, resisting temptation.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard the old adage about writing down everything you eat because most people are eating more than they know. Unconsciously, we pick up something here or gobble something there. At our very worst, we stuff a pizza in when...
