What is the trend now? To experience fasting?

I was in the midst of marking the examination scripts and to take a break, I googled some articles, browsed here and there before finding this thing: some non-Muslims guys (and ladies) are vlogging about their experience fasting.  At first, I was thinking “Wait a minute?!  Are they newly reverts?  Or are they just fasting for the sake of experience of not eating for few hours?”  But as I watch their videos (more than one apparently), I realise that they are really seriously doing it like a Muslim.  They take sahur and do not eat from subuh until maghrib.   Some have been doing it for few years.  Man, I am really amazed.  One of them is even praying tarawikh (I guess he is newly reverted to Islam.  Alhamdulillah).  

I am not saying it is a bad thing to do but I truly believe that Allah’s hidayah can be in various types and forms.  Perhaps, this is one of it.
