A traditional Islamic fast occurs from dawn to sunset each day during which time you are expected to abstain from any food, drink, sexual intercourse, or smoking. Once you break the fast at sunset, you can then participate in these activities in the same way you normally would. Many Muslims choose to fast on Mondays and Thursdays, or in and around a Full Moon.
Of course, make sure you consult your physician before beginning any new fasting routine to ensure that it is suitable for you.
