Water fast is when the only intake is water (plus electrolites and vitamines). Basically "eat nothing".

> Basically "eat nothing".

Thanks for this, reading "water fast" and "3 days" gave me a shot of adrenaline. The "water" prefix is just confusing, the word for abstaining from food is just "fast" for those interested.

If this is engagement bait, then well played..

		It is a specific type of fasting. Saying only "fasting" can mean a lot of things, saying "water fast" means you only drink water. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting

		Water fasting is used to differentiate from dry fasting, where you don't even drink water.
