Water is important.
Have all the water you want, but if you eat, you have broken the fast.
But remember,.... that's okay.
One thing you will gain from fasting is patience and stamina, these things take time to develop.
Don't make yourself sick, you are of very little use to God if you are sick.
Also, remember that you will be physically weak. Don't expect to fast for a day or more and still do all of the physical things you normally do.
Select a time when you can devote yourself to prayer and meditation only.
I'll locate some solid information that will help guide you and post it as soon as I can, but it will probably be tomorrow sometime.
