liquid fast

Only drinks allowed

A liquid fast is a period of consuming only liquids—water, broth, juice, or other beverages—while abstaining from solid food.

People undertake liquid fasts for religious observance, medical preparation, or perceived health benefits: She did a three-day liquid fast before the colonoscopy.

The practice ranges from water-only to allowing any non-solid calories.
