What's water fasting? Not drinking enough water for multiple days?

[–] ProfDizzyStick@lemmy.world 47 points 8 months ago

Only drinking water and not eating.

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.

Obviously without milk or sugar or other calorie rich additives to be precise.

Actual coffee, not coffee-flavored beverages.

I've read that an intermittent fast will work with under 100 calories. So a drop of cream and teaspoon of sugar in your coffee is ok.

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.
