Types of fasts.
There are several types of fasting that you can choose from, but all involve refraining from a category of food for a designated period of time! This might include complete fasts, selective fasts, or partial fasts.

Complete Fast.
This fast calls for drinking only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
Selective Fast.
This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, or bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.
Partial Fast.
This fast is sometimes called the Jewish Fast and involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as eating between 6:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., or from sunup to sundown.
