To fast is to abstain deliberately from some or all food, drink, or both, for a period of time. A fast may limit certain kinds of foods (like meat) or prohibit eating on certain days or hours. Fasting as a spiritual practice goes back to ancient times and is rooted in many world religious traditions and sacred texts.
