water fasting
Drinking, not eating
Water fasting is abstaining from all food while consuming only water, typically for a set period ranging from one to several days.
People undertake water fasts for weight loss, spiritual discipline, or purported health benefits like cellular repair.
The practice carries medical risks and is distinct from intermittent fasting, which merely restricts eating windows: She did a three-day water fast under her doctor's supervision.
