As a Christian, the fasting isn’t a punishment, it is a way to get closer to God.
Something important to keep in mind when fasting is that you shouldn’t fast to get leaner, you should fast to get closer to God and also to strengthen your bond with Him.
A Great Christian once said that the best teacher in the world is the devil who atacks every soul that tries to get closer to the right path (his work is a lot easier because a lot of people today engage in wrongdoing without restraint, so his focus is on the people that try to get closer to God). If you try to resist the temptation, you will learn to pray in a way that you wouldn’t have known otherwise.
The point is that a fool thinks an easier life is a better one but God will give you struggles in order to make you stronger, in order to turn you into a real man / women of God.
In conclusion you could try fasting but keep in mind that it isn’t about losing weight – it is about forming a bond whith the One that loves you truly, our Creator. So this method is pointless if you do not practice living as close to God as you can.
