Now this jug...is it a Gallon jug, will you be able to refill it? A person your size will need at least a gallon of water a day if your going to be sweating. Hydration before food! (and noooo nutrition paste..trust me)
I think gatorade, although a great athletic product, would actually \"pollute\" the sense of purity one gets from a genuine fast. Symbolically, I suppose it might actually equate to cheating...God gave us water...and, although most of what we have now is NOT pure, I think...if it was me doing the fast, I would want pure, anadulterated water...and I would be really weak and hungry about three hours in...but that is just me.
I never was a paste-eater, but lots of first graders swore by it...well, it and boogers. And for the record, I didn\'t eat those either.

Food ain\'t no big thing...there WILL be water right??
I\'ll have one jug of water.
HA HA!!! I got on at work :) For 5 minutes!!!
Matt, please put a few gatorade powder packs in there or something. I bet it\'ll help!
Well, yeah, but...I have no idea if Matt\'s fast is like this, but some spiritual fasts are meant to be water-only.

Gatorade and V8 are excellent post-fast recovery nourishment.
Peace be with you on your prayer/fast/ceremony/journey.
P.S. I promise to behave *fingers crossed behind back*
