I know the Church's rules on fasting.  I am wondering what type of fasting was done in Biblical times.  For example, when Judith fasted; when Jesus fasted, when the Ninevites fasted.  Did they eat anything when fasting or just water?

"Because he hath therefore scattered you among the Gentiles, who know not him, that you may declare his wonderful works, and make them know that there is no other Almighty God besides him."
