When I started my first fast, I had the idea that I would consume 
nothing but water. After a while, however, I began to feel this was 
unhealthy and unnecessary. I did not have the luxury of taking time off 
from work and life for several weeks of contemplation, and I needed to 
have at least a modest amount of energy. So I took vitamins and fiber 
capsules and drank a small amount of fruit juice (or sometimes vitamin 
water). Some people would say that's cheating or call what I was doing a 
“juice fast.” I would differ with that interpretation, but then, there 
are many views on what constitutes a “proper” fast and that is of no 
particular concern to me.
