      Gurmat does not recommend any fasting related with eating of food.
      Depriving/Controlling the body functions is not going to help in any manner. But controlling the mind to a proper direction will definitely lead the body to the right direction.

      ਹੁਕਮੁ ਵਰਤੁ ਨੇਮੁ ਸੁਚ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਮਨ ਚਿੰਦਿਆ ਫਲੁ ਪਾਏ ॥ 1423
      Gurmat advises to understand and follow the Hukam of Akal Purkh. Self disciplining the mind in controlling the body for all sorts of actions. Such a process will lead to a successful life.
