      Probably just only drinking water. AKA a normal fast.

      Though to be fair most fasts still allow for other zero calorie drinks, like tea or coffee.

        I decided to fast for Ramadan one year. I’m not religious, I just wondered what it was like. I knew it was dawn to dusk fasting, but didn’t know that you can’t drink anything either. I did an obstacle race with my son on weekend in 25 degree Celsius weather and it was very, very tough.

        Anyway, I’m not sure there is such a thing as “normal” fasting. 😄

      Stupid fad where people cycle consuming nothing but water for three days. Intermittent fasting (eg 14hr/day) is a far better approach

        It sounds so dangerous. Not eating breakfast or lunch and having a big dinner is one thing, but literally eating nothing for 3 days? Talk to a doctor first.
