What about "semi-water fast" diet?
I'm currently going on a vegan fast for two reasons: I wanted to try and see the benefits of it for myself for a long time (well at least 6 months now). I was trying to do it during a normal period but had some problems sustaining it for a prolonged period of time. Right now a fast is starting in church for me and lasts until end of December. I usually just went off the meats and still ate cheese and fish. Since I already followed a someone limited fast during these periods, I decided to adopt the two together.
My plan is to start off the same way as my previous fasts for church and take off the meats (and cheese this time) for the first week but still eat seafood. Second week I'll limit the seafood greatly and third week I'll go fully vegan.
What I'm thinking of doing is a semi-detox at the same time. I probably can't fully jump from eating to just drinking water and want to moderatly approach it over the next few years. Can I do this: drink a "power shake" in the morning i.e: Soy milk, fresh fruit (berries usually) and one of those All Greens powders. Drink only tea and water during the day at work (IT Desk job, helps that I drink only tea and water at work to begin with), at 5-6pm have "dinner" mainly consisting of fresh veggies and some grains (i.e brown rice, whole wheat pasta/sauce etc.)?
Would that type of semi-water fast be beneficial? Or should I just follow a normal vegan diet, have veggie snacks and a lunch at work and do the similar dinner as mentioned above?
