Eating fruit is not fasting. Anything with calories will break a fast. Tea, black coffee and of course water would be fine. That said, good luck.
Yes, you're the third person who's pointed that out to me. I know. I was going to point out the error myself, but didn't. Guess I should have.
Juice fast is more accurate, but since at some point I may be eating some of the apples from my trees, and some little oranges (called "sweeties") even that is inaccurate. Not sure what to call it.
This will be interesting to hear how this works for you. I have done this for a few days each in the past but for Christian reasons (as you mentioned earlier) not for dieting. I just remember thinking about food a lot when I did it. It wasn't that difficult. I set a goal for each day and soon that day would pass. I did have a raging headache because I did not have any caffeine.
Cutting off coffee will do that. I had coffee this morning, along with a bottle of mineral water. Coffee on an empty stomach can be a problem, too.
What were your goals for each day?

Lol, I think you are referring to "Cuties" and there's another brand which I've seen but couldn't remember so I looked it up, called 'Halos". They are in fact mandarin oranges. I enjoy them from time to time. They are small which is perfect.

I have fasted and physically it makes me feel pretty dang good. I get very obsessed with food, to a point where it is a big negative, whenever I go more than a day without eating.....that is why I rarely do so.
I finish my last meal for the day from 3 to 5 pm..........then I eat breakfast from 7 to 9 am the next day. Not really a true fast, but it has many benefits.
I started a five day water fast today, going till Monday. If anyone would care to join in, please do. I feel a bit clogged up due to too many family dinners, socializing and recent bout with the flu. Stress eating, also.
Plan on doing green tea, mineral water, and fruit like apples, oranges, lemons.
The fruits can kick you out of the fast by raising your insulin levels.
I get my caffeine from Diet Mountain Dew.
I know... but we all have our vices. And I do not like coffee or tea.
I probably wouldn’t drink that for a fast though. If I need to go off caffeine, I take about three days to taper down because the headache is miserable. Not everyone gets one though.
