What can i eat during the 40 hour famine?

Question

During the 40 hour famine, what am i allowed to eat?

i thought it was only bali sugars, and water.

but some people are saying that you can have fruit juice, soft drink, and any sugary lollies?

i need to know, because im going to do it this weekend :)

by the way, i know that the famine was on the 15-17th, but my school said we can do the famine anytime before the end of the month. :)

Answer 1

I did it last weekend, but I sort of took it literally and had no food whatsoever. Just water.

But it's totally up to you, I think. Like some people give up technology or furniture or whatever, it doesn't really matter as long as you can empathize with actual starving people and raise a little cash to support it.  

Answer 2

Don't you mean fasting?

Answer 3

Here are the famine guidelines.

Drink plenty of water, mineral water, fruit juice or tea.

You can have an energy sweet, like a barley sugar, every 4 hours.

If you’re at primary school you must NOT skip food for more than 8 hours.

Doctors warn that going without food could be harmful if you’re pregnant, recently had surgery, have a history of diabetes, gastric or duodenal ulcers, heart conditions or kidney complaints. Ask your doctor for advice. Remember, if going without food isn’t on, you can go without something else that’s important to you.

When you finish the Famine, ease your way back to normal eating by having something light and healthy like a salad or fruit.

And I checked, for the person who called it leftest nonsense. It is a fundraiser, and this year the funds are going to send food to India.

Answer 4

typically you eat nothing.  You can drink water!  

Answer 5

What the h**l are you talking about?

This has got to be some foreign thing where you're supposed to empathize with people who don't have enough to eat. I'll bet you folks will feel so much better about yourselves for caring, even though you've done NOTHING! What pathetic leftist nonsense!!!

If you really want to do something, HOW ABOUT SENDING FOOD? Find a church mission that does charity work? If you're one of those atheist types, organize your own. Just do something. This is meaningless.
