As a sign of sacrifice for God and preparation for Easter. In one of St. Paul's letters he says that the god of the pagans is their stomach. Therefore we deny ourselves of certain things to give greater glory to God.

Unless you are talking about a very high order of awareness and spirituality, the answer is no. More than likely the questioner is being a little tongue-in-cheek. Giving up Lent for Lent would clearly not be in keeping with the spirit of the season.
