Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 to many people fasting is just sticking to one food. I know that it is still a diet since I am not abstaining from food and still consuming calories. But I thought more people would be familiar with the term grape " fast " . But yeah I would like some info on anyone who has been on a grape diet/ fast in other words only having grapes and water. Supposedly grapes are great as an intestinal cleanser and liver cleanser. not as strong of a cleanser as apples are but I feel for my body I need something more gentle than an apple " fast " .

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Jon, You are right. Using the word grape fast is a common way to describe the type of fast you are going on. Although it may be " dictionary correct " that to fast is to abstain from food, maybe even water if you want to get really technical, the use of the word fast preceded by the a word to describe the type of fast has become so common that people even say water fast if they are only going to drink water.
