Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) fast for one day each month (typically the first Sunday). The money that they would have spent on food is donated to the poor. A 'true fast' is considered to be abstaining from at least two consecutive meals, but those with health or nutritional problems are asked to do what they can without risking their health.

Mormons may also fast more often, if they choose to. It is common when a congregation member is seriously ill for a congregational fast to be held. Mormons also have personal fasts for various reasons.

Can you take tablets during fasting in Ramadan?

No, if you are fasting, then you cannot take tablets because your fast will break. However, if you are required to take tablets, then it is not obligatory for you to fast. When you do not have to take tablets anymore, then you will have to make up for that fast on another day or days.For more details:Fasting in Ramadan requires that you refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, or practicing sex during the fasting period. The fasting period is the daytime period from just before dawn until sunset. Accordingly, if you are fasting you are not allowed to take tablets during the fasting period.However, you have to ask the physician, who is prescribing the medical treatment, to arrange tablet taking hours to be within the non-fasting period (that is the evening time from just after sunset until just before dawn). If this is not possible, then you are allowed not to fast for the days you should take the tablets. Then you should compensate for these non-fasting days by fasting equal number of days as soon as possible after recovery. If taking tablets is for lifetime medical treatment, then for each non-fasting Ramadan day you have to give charity to the poor or needy people equivalent to the cost of your normal meals of one full day.
