Because of religious beliefs, its called fasting. What it is, is it's not eating for a long time, or not eating a certain food for a certain amount of time. --- In the Roman Catholic Faith: fasting vs. abstinence: The Catholic Church requires that all members 14 years of age, and older, unto death, abstain from eating meat ( beef / foul ) on Fridays during Lent. Fasting is required on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Catholics between the ages of 18-59 are permitted only one full meal. Partial portions of food, not to equal one full meal, is permitted twice a day. As in abstinence, meat is not allowed ---
