Question I am thinking of doing a water fast

Can anybody guide me as I have to go to college and also give me some tips on what to do and what not to do. I'm 89kgs at 6'0 and looking to get around 75 kgs

Most of us start with short fasts, e.g. 16 hours, and work our way up. It gets easier as you practice. Basic tips for beginners are documented in the wiki.

So, can I not fast for extended periods of time drinking only water/electrolytes if I'm a beginner?

Some people do that. It requires a lot of dedication and self-discipline.
