[NAGDU] Fasting

I've been reading about the benefits of intermittent fasting for both humans
and other animals.  It's supposed to greatly improve health and longevity.
I'm trying it myself, and it's not actually that hard to do.

Is anyone fasting their dog regularly?  When I was a kid, we had a dog who
had been raised to fast on Sundays.  When Sunday rolled around, he didn't
expect to eat, and wasn't all that interested, either.  But he was a poodle,
not a lab.

I'm thinking of trying it with Krokus.  He has fasted before, when he had
tests.  He wasn't thrilled, but he settled down after a bit and stopped
pestering.  But I don't want to make him even more scavengy.

Has anyone tried it, with a dog who wasn't raised to it from puppyhood?
