EN: fasting
Before "intermittent fasting" became a trendy diet, Filipinos have been doing this for centuries, especially during Lent (Kwaresma). It's the act of willingly skipping meals, usually for religious reasons. Now, it's also what your gym-bro friend does, calling it IF, while dreaming of the samgyupsal they'll eat during their 'eating window'.
From `pag-` (gerund prefix) + `a` (euphonic liaison) + `ayuno` (from Spanish 'ayuno' meaning fast).
Strongly associated with religious observances like Lent for Catholics or Ramadan for Muslims.
