Fasting mutih is fasting or abstaining from eating and drinking anything except white rice and water. There are other sources that mention that bread without taste can be used as a substitute for rice. Usually, this ritual is done with a specific purpose or interest, such as achieving success and a more radiant face aura. Philosophically, fasting mutih is considered capable of whitening and purifying the heart and appearance.

2. Receiving Attention from Netizens

Aurel's fasting mutih ritual apparently sparked some comments from netizens. Some netizens questioned Aurel's decision. Some netizens questioned the fasting mutih performed by Aurel because she used bread and eggs that they believe still have taste.

Some netizens also have similar experiences to Aurel, which is performing the fasting mutih ritual before marriage, but the consequence is feeling weak during the reception.

There are also netizens who doubt the success of the fasting mutih ritual and believe that it is not necessary to perform this ritual, and instead, it is enough to perform voluntary fasting.

3. Nutrition Expert Opinion

Dr. Rita Ramayulis, DCN, M.Kes. in id.theasianparent.com stated that white fasting is allowed for a short period of time. She also added that the sugar diet during white fasting ritual helps to improve body metabolism, and its effects will be reflected on the face.

According to Aurel's post on Instagram by Anang Hermansyah, she does white fasting to make her face brighter and glowing. Based on Dr. Rita's statement above, Aurel's goal will be achieved as long as it is not done for a long period of time. Dr. Rita added that the average maximum limit for white fasting ritual is only 1 week.
