St Ignatius silent retreats is a good way to pray and fast.  
.
Except they put delicious food in front of you three times a day,
so you will have to skip every meal.

Thank you, Apollo for the link to that. 

Yeah. The food was good.  I wanted to go to retreat to grow spiritually and ended up losing weight.

I don't see any problem with it.  I think of it more like you are sanctifying a water fast by doing it in union with the Church's Friday abstinence & Our Lord's Passion.  
Thanks for this.  It is very helpful and inspiring.
