The attitude behind fasting is more important than the actual act?
According to what i understood from your question,we should focus not just only on the act of fasting but on what we do while fasting.That's why JESUS told that we should not show to the people that we are fasting and that we are really exhausted from fasting,while fasting we should focus on how to act as real Christians and how to offer to everyone the real love and affection and to really get near from GOD and i think that this really more important than the act of fasting itself...But acting in general as a real Christian is not only limited on fasting but it is for all the times...
