While water fasting, the primary restriction is consuming anything other than water.
Key Things to Avoid During a Water Fast
Based on available information, here's a breakdown of what you should avoid during a water fast:
-
Eating Any Food: This is the most fundamental rule. Water fasting involves abstaining from all food.
-
Drinking Beverages Other Than Water: You should avoid drinking anything besides water. This includes:
- Juices
- Soda
- Tea
- Coffee
- Broth
- Alcohol
The reference specifies drinking at least 2 to 3 liters of water daily, preferably mineralized water, to stay hydrated and replenish electrolytes.
-
Ignoring Electrolyte Balance: While you're only drinking water, ensuring it's properly mineralized is important. Pay attention to how you feel and consider mineralized water.
-
Neglecting Hydration: Dehydration can be a serious risk. Drink plenty of water – at least 2 to 3 liters daily, as suggested.

Disregarding Physical and Mental Changes: Be aware of mood and energy fluctuations, as well as hunger pangs.
