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.

Which is exactly what you do when you eat one meal then fast for the entire day. I don't understand this "simple" logic you're preaching since what I'm saying is also a definition of fasting as provided in the dictionary definition you gave. I'm also saying that "fasting" for 10 days (which is starving yourself rather than fasting) is unhealthly and not beneficial to one's health. I don't even see what your "argument" has to do with this topic since I'm at least trying to explain the health concerns from starving yourself for 10 days while you're busy trying to show how your definition of fasting is somehow the "right" one. If you still want to continue this discussion in a civil manner, then talk to me through messages because I don't wish to derail this topic any further. Otherwise, don't reply to this.

I already posted a lenghty article on the matter. If you don't want to read it, that's your problem.
