On Saturday I met a Moldovan who is a practising Orthodox and has given up meat, fish and dairy for lent. 40 days of effectively depriving yourself of protein, which is an essential part of our everyday diet. He mentioned that by the end of the 40 days he feels very tired and weak, confirming my view that we need to eat a well balanced diet. It seems to me that this practise is very "unorthodox" as well as being unhealthy.
