Our Frequently Asked Questions topic will answer many of your fasting & weight loss questions!
If you're new and have a question or need some advice, please give us as much information as you can about your situation in order for us to be able to help you as best we can. For example, it's helpful to know your BMI/weight, how much you want to lose, any medical conditions which might affect your weight and (if you've started fasting already) how you do your fasts in terms of splitting up your calories, what you eat etc. Thanks!
Thanks

That's interesting Pansy about Dr Vardy's research. I do a lot of walking, plus weights/other muscle building exercise. Wonder if that will offset the loss of muscle mass from the total fast?

On the original question, yes, definitely some kind of liquid otherwise there is a risk of dehydration.
I also eat on fast days. For me, and this is just my opinion, liquids only would be difficult to endure though many seem fine with it. Whatever works but definitely drink something in the 24 hour period.
4:3 is four days normal eating (or your TDEE) and 3 days fasting
16:8 is a daily eating window. Instead of 2 days a week fasting, every day you only eat during an 8 hour window. Think most people eat 2 meals during that time.
