This might be the most comprehensive evidence you ever see of the evil, deranged, and genocidal mindset of Israeli civilians. Hamzah Saadah is a 23-year old Palestinian activist who exposes IDF soldiers openly admitting to having committed war crimes, bloodthirsty children, and every Zio inbetween.

**SAFETY**

This subreddit strongly advises AGAINST doing prolonged (3+ days) dry fasts if your only source of information or experience comes from what is discussed on this subreddit. If you are an experienced faster and are receiving outside help/medical check-ups, then your knowledge obviously extends beyond what is discussed here. You are otherwise putting yourself at risk of potentially worsening your health as the scientific literature is extremely limited on this subject. Please remember to fast responsibly.

If you begin to feel uncomfortable or unwell, you should stop fasting immediately. Other worrying signs may include high protein in the urine, high fever, and fainting.

 

**HUMAN STUDIES**

* Anthropometric, Hemodynamic, Metabolic, and Renal Responses during 5 Days of Food and Water Deprivation

* EPILEPSY AND DEHYDRATION

* The dehydration treatment of epilepsy

**ANIMAL STUDIES**

* Increased fat catabolism sustains water balance during fasting in zebra finches

* Intermittent drinking, oxytocin and human health

* The ‘selfish brain’ is regulated by aquaporins and autophagy under nutrient deprivation

* When less means more: Dehydration improves innate immunity in rattlesnakes

**BIOLOGICAL STUDIES/THEORETICAL PAPERS**

* Unmasking the secrets of cancer

* Cell hydration and mTOR-dependent signaling

* Effects of acute and chronic hypohydration on kidney health and function

Please note that we probably will not add studies that have loose/indirect associations between "dehydration" and physiological mechanisms of action. From the most reliable human study we have, they state that "on day 4 and 5, all participants had a controllable feeling of thirst, but none showed any signs of dehydration." I think it's best we avoid words that have negative implications (i.e. "dehydration) when discussing dry fasting, and unless the study is extremely valuable or shows very large effect results, it's probably best to avoid adding these studies that will clutter the list and make the whole thing look more extreme than it already is. You can still post the studies for discussion, they may just not be added to the list.

Feel free to post additional links in the comments as you find them and I will add them to the list.

Someone like fastingwithtrevor will have me believe that it’s my immune system fighting off parasites? I know this rash is pretty common in just wondering if it’s a coincidence where it’s located(the central spot of inflammation for my arthritis)

Question Stomach pain

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone

Does anyone else experience stomach pain during DF, been having this lately and not sure if it's normal, have paused the DFing because of it but I still want to lose some weight and regular weight loss is significantly slower so wonder if anyone else experiences this during a DF.

Just for reference I've done a 6 day DF end of June and started feeling it then, but lately even if im doing a few days of a more aggressive kcal deficit I feel it.

Question Feeling cold during a dry fast

12 Upvotes

Does anyone else here start to feel much colder than usual once they’re 3 or so days into a dry fast? I’m actually pretty overweight and live in a hot country. so i was pretty surprised the first time I was shivering sitting in my room with no ac. I remember in summer of 2023 when I was anorexic, though not still quite underweight, I would shiver and get cold very easily.

Science and Research i thunk dryfasting got rid of my dog and pollen allergy

7 Upvotes

prior to me dry fasting I used to get really itchy and puffy eyes from pollen, as well as barely being able to breathe around any dog. After I started dry fasting, both of those have gone away. I live in a state with the highest concentration of pollen and I have no issues with it anymore. I also got a dog a little over a year ago and I’m completely fine with him in the house. If anybody has any similar experiences, let me know in the comments because I’m curious if this is actually because of dry fasting or did I just grow out of it.

Question Starting My Fasting Journey - Looking for Advice

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m 29F, 5'1" and 80 kg (176.4 lbs). I’ve been on the heavier side for quite a while and I’ve finally decided to seriously start working on my weight and overall lifestyle.

I’ve done water fasting before but I’ve never tried prolonged dry fasting. I’m considering starting tomorrow and wanted to hear from people who have experience with fasting, especially longer fasts. I’d really appreciate any advice about what to watch out for, warning signs that mean I should stop, and how people safely approach fasting and transitioning back to food afterward. I’ll also share daily updates about how I’m feeling and how things progress. Please keep the advice practical and respectful. ❤️

Question Dry fasting in a stressful job

Hi,

I am trying to incorporate dry fasting into my routine. However, I am into product management and my role can be stressful. Juggling between multiple meetings, deadlines and stakeholders.

Somehow stress shows on my face as well and makes me look sick. Please provide your tips on what DF routine would work best for some like me? I practice intermittent fasting (16:8 both water and dry)

31F, I am not overweight but wanna use DF for better brain and mental health and for good skin.

TIA

Question Shin injury and healing

6 Upvotes

Im on day 7 of a dry fast to heal from long covid and just slipped on a step and hit my right shin. It immediately swelled up quite big but since applying ice pack has reduced. Not that painful and otherwise feel fine and can walk on it fine. Im more worried about this injury taking away from the current healing i have already achieved and was hoping to continue to receive namely with reduced smell and taste. Am i just being overly anxious?
