From Merriam-Webster Definition of FAST
intransitive verb
2
: to eat sparingly or abstain from some foods
Your own definition from the dictionary says otherwise.

Still, when people refer to fasting, they most of the time mean abstaining from food entirely. Any other meaning you give to fasting will be a sub-branch and needs clarification. It's like saying "I slept for 4 days". It could mean that you were asleep for 4 days or that you had regular sleep for 4 days; if you don't clarify, and based on context, the former is the most likely to be infered meaning.

What are you talking about? And the example you gave made no sense. What are you basing your "most of the time" claim from? You either eat sparingly (ie: 1 meal a day then fast for the rest) or you go for a complete fast for a day. In context to the topic, fasting for 10 days is unhealthy and not recommended for one to do.

From simple logic we can say that what YOU are saying makes no sense. By your logic I could say that I fast everyday because I don't eat at 3 pm. It's just stupid. Fasting means not eating food for a prolonged period.
