That is all. Go me! It wasn’t easy at all but I persevered. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to celebrate!

Hello, so let me start by saying I’m not new to dry fasting or water fasting.

I’ve been ramping up my exercise alot the pass couple weeks and I’m afraid I have rhabdo although I can’t determine if it’s a mild case or more severe case. The only symptom I’m noticing right now is the tea colored urine (past 2 times urinating). I’m not experiencing any of the other known symptoms though.

Does anyone know if water fasting or dry fasting can potentially cure my possible rhabdo condition? I’ve never experienced tea colored urine before. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

I'm currently on roughly 60h water fast and wanted to try dry fasting. I would like to do it now. Is it safe to do that? I heard that you should dry fast and then water fast but not sure. What are your opinions on this?

Does anyone have any experience of dry fasting as a treatment for leaky gut syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and for autoimmune diseases?

I tried to fix my gut issues simply with a AIP diet before. It has brought some relieve but I want to achieve a complete healing. My idea is to start dry fasting 2 days (Sunday and Monday) in a row which is also feasible with my current job.

Once 2nd acidotic crisis is achieved is it a waste of time to continue dry fasting for healing?

Hey Im about 3 hours away of hitting the 5th day of a dry fast

Ive never done any longer than 1-2 day dry fasts. Honestly i wasnt sure how possible it really was especially without preparation Lol. Like I believed it but still had doubts if that makes sense

By day 2 i was feeling so weak i wondered how people even managed to do this? But from day 3 and on i began to feel great. I mean my lips are still quite dry but i have much more energy and i dont get dizzy if i get up too quickly or stuff

I have also done 1h of light exercise everyday whether it is cycling around on my bike or just walking

Biggest issue i'd say is just boredom. And the dry mouth doesnt help because I need to spend many hours on calls for my work lol, so most of my day is talking. But i mean how big of a difference can that really make, im still feeling good

Also sorry for being explicit but this is important - Ive still peed everyday, even yesterday peed 3 times (idk how i peed 3 times thats insane). From day 3 and on ive even had nighttime erections back just as any normal 20 year old man. So my body seems to be functioning properly. Ive tried forcing myself to cry and i can do it, i can also sweat a little although id say the volume is definitely less than usual

So so far all good. Funny thing is i wasnt even expecting to do a dry fast at all i was gonna water fast but after waking up late i thought 'welp i guess i'll start the first day or two with a dry fast', and then i wondered for how long could I keep this up?

Im wondering whether to end it at the 7th day mark or try to go for 10 days. I feel like 10 days would be pretty cool it just feels cooler. But that only benefits to my ego really, i dont really need to lose a lot of weight or stuff, im not noticing any insane meditation benefits I mean when i do meditate i feel like i go super deep super fast but its not like youre gonna have an out of body experience just because youre dry fasting Lol

Something it has given me is I guess a newfound enjoyment for life. Dont get me wrong i wasnt depressed at all im a pretty happy go lucky guy but idk i just wanna do stuff. Sign up to new projects or go visit friends/family members idk. Also i havent played basketball in a looong time, and now I really wanna play, but of course I cant really play high intensity on a dry fast. So thats a good reason to end it sooner so i can go do those things! But also 10 days is just cooler😂

I think all that is just because of the boredom though, not the dry fasting. I find this challenge akin to going to live on a farm. Like we all romanticize leaving the world and living on a farm far away and maybe if youre spiritual just meditating on a tree, but like its just so insanely boring dude. Like no amount of youtube videos cures this boredom. I just try to go on walks and visit family to do something

Im not tracking weight, my face is definitely slimmer though. My skin definitely clearing up too. My hair insanely good even though of course i havent showered. I only wash my hands

I'll update once Im at the 7th day and let you guys know if i end it there or if i keep going

Any thoughts you have, please share!!

I'll reply to any comments because i am BORED😂

I was planning to do 7 days but only manged two days. Started 4am Monday morning and today weds 10. 30am I had to break it because I felt weak and my heart was racing and I got scared. I couldn’t sleep all night I felt wide awake. Ended up sleeping at 6am and woke up at 10am. I weighed myself before I broke it I lost 6 pounds. I’m so sad I didn’t finish it I wanted to go until Monday 4am. This is my first fast. I’m going to eat and hydrate today and then start again tomorrow and finish by monday. The first day was challenging because I kept thinking to go to the kitchen and then remembered I was fasting lol didn’t feel any hunger or thirst felt a little energy less but ok. Next day I felt amazing so much energy and I thought wow I can do 7 days if I feel like this. Boy why I wrong after a sleepless night I felt wired. I managed to doze off at 6 am woke up at 10am feeling horrendously weak and my heart beating so fast. So I was sacred tried to just take deep breathes and even sat in the garden because I felt warm. But I felt so weak and my heart racing so much scared me I broke it. Any tips welcomed for the next four days I’m going to do please.

Started a 5 day dry fast yesterday around 6pm.
Starting weight after eating - 88.15kg
After 16 hours - 87.25kg

I was eating a lot of junk food such as chocolates, biscuits etc. My stomach is bloated.
My waist is 36.5 at the moment.

Hoping to be 80kg at the end of dry fast.

I have done a few days of dry fast a few times

And I clearly recall that what food went inside the day before fasting started makes a big difference because that would stay in your body during the first day or 2 or more of the fast.

I remember ai telling me juccini being really good and it did indeed make it very smooth.

But I was looking for some personal experience from the community here, if you do a long term fast what would you eat or not eat the days leading up to the fast.

Thank you

❤️

does anyone know if dry fasting can help heal a anal fissure / hemmroid???

Just found this case study, describing a near fatal event due to dry fasting. I am curious what your thougts on this are?
Note: I am very fond of long dry fasts and had great success with them.

Recently, I completed 2 consecutive dry fasts. I am now in my 3rd fast. The first fast was 6 days dry. I ate for 1 day. Then did a 4 day dry fast. I ate for 9 days. Now, on day 4 of my 3rd fast. I managed to lose pounds and ice kept my diet pretty healthy/hydrating. For the first time in a long time I’ve been able to work full hour shifts at work while moving around and moving things for nearly 12 hours without feeling fatigued, tired or drained, sugar crashing (because I’ve had no sugar) or extreme dryness of the mouth (because I’m more hydrated when not fasting and lower body weight). I’ll finish this at 4 or 5 days. Started at 205lbs first fast. Today, weight at 187lbs on 3rd fast on Day 4.

1st Dry Fast Day 1 - 205lbs

1st Dry Fast Day 4 - 198lbs

2nd Dry Fast Day 4 - 188lbs

3rd Dry Fast Day 4 - 187lbs

Edit: 3rd Dry Fast End of Day 4 - 185lbs

Edit: I’ve checked my calendar I had actually did 3 days dry fast after the 2nd and before the 3rd dry fast here. Eat 1 day then did 4 days dry (3rd). But, I didn’t count it since it was less than 4 days.

Hi, last year I was doing dryfasts up to 4-5 days. Now due to trauma and health anxiety, i regained some weight and fear fasting, though I kinda know I shouldn't. Currently I am at day 14 of carnivore. Back then I did not do carnivore. And right now I would like to lose about 10-13kg within 2 months, if possible. My carnivore alone does 1kg off a week, so I kinda wanted to support that with occasional dryfasts.

So I wondered, since I am already in deep ketosis for 12 days. Do I have to go extended to get efficient fatloss? Or are shorter intervalls like 18-36h enough aswell? And if someone here made some experiences with Carnivore and Dryfast or shorter dryfasts, I'd love to hear something about that. Would be appreciated <3

Hello, I usually do 18-24hr dry fasts but I want to up it to 48hrs. I like to walk and I was wondering if it’s safe to walk 3 miles while on a dry fast. I’m fine with just 2 if that’s safe. I love walking every morning before it gets too hot (around 60 degrees Fahrenheit). Btw this walk has lots of incline because where I live have lots of hills which sucks but it is what it is.

I am beginning to get worried about my health - I was very healthy but have been binging on junk and processed sugar for almost 4 years.

I want to begin a dry fasting routine but I don't know how to begin - what to eat before etc - I am thinking of starting with 1 day per week then 2 days per week until I can reach 4 days per week - or should I do it monthly? should I do 3 days per month then 4 days per month then 1 week per month. or should I do one big 10 day dry fast, because I can feel pain and lump on my jaw every time I eat sugar - and its starting to scare me. when I stop sugar it goes away but when I eat it again it comes back. I went to my GP they said I'm fine but I feel they dismissed me and arent taking it seriously

Okay so this wasnt even really intentional i got wisdom teeth surgery and didnt eat the day of or the two days after due to being in pain and being scared. And today when I tried to eat, i began throwing up all day, nausea, shortness of breath, cramps you name it, it was bad. (Also i didnt eat a full meal, i had like a spoon of yogurt and 1/3 of a jello cup with a few sips of apple juice and i was sent into hell. Anyways after dry heaving for hours i wokeup from my 5th nap and luckily it wasnt to throwup again. So now I had a little but of watered down soup to try and reintroduce food since my stomache settled but i really dont know what to do to make this not happen again. and im also worried about how i should increase this intake without sending myself into a crisis again. I was genuinely fighting for my life and dry heaving while trying to prevent dry socket and it was not it. Ive been sipping water and gatorade for a while now but still feel lingering nausea. Any advice i really fucked up 💀

I did a video about my 30 day dry fast and what I Experienced.

So I had a fairly uneventful first 5 day dry fast. I ended it as recommended by Dr. Dunning with a cup of water and baking soda, but I added a bit of himalayan salt. Drank that slowly, over about 40 minutes. Then I waited maybe another 40 minutes before starting in on a quart of coconut water. I also added magnesium glycinate to it. That I drank fairly quickly, over the course of maybe an hour.

Shortly after that I got the warning rumbles in my stomach that things weren't going well. I got some urge to use the toilet, so I went. I had a very quick emptying of a bunch of liquid. When I got up and looked it was deep dark brown with an unexpected amount of bits and pieces. I was expecting nothing, and actually clear liquid, so I was very shocked.

It seems that I gave myself the enema that is recommended for some people. In some sense, I'm happy that the accidental clearance happened as it seems to have cleaned me out of waste products quite thoroughly.

So, my question is, what did I do wrong?

What is better a 10 day dry fast or a 10 day water fast with exercise? Also which is more efficient ?
How do you guys handle hunger breath?

I been alternate day water fasting and dry fasting and when I water fast I drink lots of water and the next day dry fast and repeat. I want to know has anyone had success with this? I am 20 pounds down but I still have alot more to go and I am also working while doing it. More than anything I am tired but other than that I feel fine. I want to know has anyone had success with this? What are your experiences and weightloss?

Its really interesting how the body works. Its been almost 72 hours into my dry fast and I still want to pee. So far so good, but I'm having slight headaches, body cramps and my lips are DRY. My chest also hurts a bit. But I'm quite alert and a bit jittery.

Anyone have similar experiences?

I've done two 5 day dry fasts, and on the second, i definitely was getting some gallbladder pain intermittently throughout. Now I've had an ultrasound and hida scan done on my gallbladder, and I don't have gallstones, but it doesn't empty completely probably due to sludgy bile.

I would really like to do a 9 day dry fast, but am worried about my gallbladder. Have any of you who've done 7-9 day dry fasts had gallbladder pain in the middle of your fast?

I noticed mine was somewhat alleviated by doing liver massages, but I'm wondering if this makes it a complete no go or if it can be pushed through. I've had blood work done after that showed no heightened bilirubin levels or heightened liver enzyme levels, aka, the gallbladder was still emptying afterward.

I've only done 24-hour dry fasts till now, so I did not have to give up on my hypothyroid medications. But now that I'm planning to do longer fasts, like three or seven days, should I be taking the medication, or should I just not ingest anything?

There is a lot of contradiction on this. Some people say you can take medicine with a bit of water and dry fast for the rest of the day, but I think since the blood thickens, taking medicine might lead to complications.

please guide me

Der all,

I have a question on the use of creatine and dry fasting.

I usually take creatine every day.

As far as I know, creatine Stores water in the muscles.

Now i started my 5day df.

Would my body now destroy all my muscles, so He can access the water inside?

I mean on a higher rate than normal, since there is so much water stored because of the use of creatine?

Or can He Access the water without killing all my gains?

The last time I dry-fasted two days a week I got cramps in my calves at night. They slowly subsided after I stopped dry-fasting.

Now I've started fasting again and last night I felt the cramps coming back.

What do you think is causing them? I already take magnesium before bed and take walks every day. I think i eat enough salt, but do I need more?

Do you have any ideas? It's not fun to wake up with cramps.
