Yes fasting is acceptable to me as an Islamic follower I should comply with my God's instruction spoken in our holy Al Qur'an and explained also in Hadith.
God instructs us one month every year on Ramadhan the ninth month in Islamic calendar to fasting before dawn until the early time of a night.Fasting will end on Maghrib praying.It is almost 14 hours a day.In fasting our stomach and digestion will be taken a rest..By fasting we will be healthier and fresh.By fasting is not meant we should stop working except which needs much energy.
Many diseases will be healed by fasting.Fasting is a training centre for only do a right thing and avoid all bad doings.Fasting is compulsory for all muslims women and men (grown up).For children before grown is not compulsory.For them fasting is only a trial whether they can afford it or not.If we have an obstacle for fasting such as ilness,we can have a break and after Ramadhan we should get fasting as a replacement.If we have along chronic illness we can replace it with alm to a poor man by give him a full month meals/foods.God does not give us difficulty.During Ramadhan we should pray together every night at the mosques and reading the holy Qur'an.During Ramadhan it is better if we give alms and pay islamic taxes because its reward from God will be bigger than in other month.We will have a reward if we give meals/foods to others for their break of fasting.

DO you mean "Is a fast/fasting acceptable to you?" or are you referring to driving swiftly? I'll assume you mean fasting?
In the way most people fast...NO. It's not acceptable to the Lord either. (HIS judgement is the only one that matters) What kind of fast does He want? The answer is always in the scriptures....

(Isa 58:3) They say, Why have we fasted, and You do not see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and You take no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and crush all your laborers.
(Isa 58:4) Behold, you fast for strife and debate, and to strike with the fist of wickedness; you shall not fast as you do today, to make your voice to be heard on high.
(Isa 58:5) Is it such a fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you call this a fast and a day pleasing to Jehovah?


(Isa 58:6) Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed ones go free, and that you break every yoke?
(Isa 58:7) Is it not to break your bread to the hungry, and that you should bring home the wandering poor? When will you see the naked and cover him; and you will not hide yourself from your own flesh?
(Isa 58:8) Then shall your light break out as the dawn, and your health shall spring out quickly; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Jehovah shall gather you.
(Isa 58:9) Then you shall call, and Jehovah shall answer; you shall cry, and He shall say, Here I am. If you take the yoke away from among you, the pointing of the finger, and speaking vanity;
(Isa 58:10) and if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light rise in darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday.
(Isa 58:11) And Jehovah shall always guide you and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones fat; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.
(Isa 58:12) And those who come of you shall build the old ruins; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
(Isa 58:13) If you turn your foot because of the Sabbath, from doing what you please on My holy days, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of Jehovah, honorable; and shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,
(Isa 58:14) then you shall delight yourself in Jehovah; and I will cause you to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed yourself with the inheritance of Jacob your father. For the mouth of Jehovah has spoken.

Could you be a little bit more specific?

If you mean not eating, then no. It's pointless, and harmful for your organism.
