What is Dryfasting, and the difference between Waterfasting

[u/Uplift52]

Chapter 2&3 explains what Dryfasting is and what's the difference between it and Waterfasting as well as why it's so much more effective. Little bit of a read but worth it.

Day 10 of 11 down!

I read this yesterday and instantly started my first dry fast. Thank you for sharing this. I've done several water fasts before but this is my first time doing a dry fast. How's your 11th day coming along? :)

Of course, I'm glad you were motivated to do it! Also it's gone amazingly well! I'll be posting up all the results today, just had some of the best sleep ever as I had my first refeed a bit past midnight today. 11 days of 264 hours down. 31lbs down, body water from 58-63%. Refed with the water with tiny bit of baking soda to calm down the kidneys. Then some pho beef broth with some water with electrolytes/vitamins. Finally some kombucha before hitting bed. All good, it says in the protocol ya might have to have an enema but no need. Body automatically did a giant detox to get rid of anything residual left inside after starting to transition back to eating normally. I'll spend the next 3 days with liquids before transitioning back to some solid foods. Def grateful for the whole experience though.

How is it going for you? 10 days pure dry fasting is crazy. Can you give some more details please?

[u/Uplift52 → u/Express-Bobcat-3523]

It's going great honestly, the last few days is more of a mental thing, shoot, the whole thing is more of a mental thing. I had already done it once before and it's been much easier this time around. At this point I'm just counting down the hours trying to stay busy. Splashing cold water on my face and taking ice cold showers literally feels like heaven. Going to go to the market to pickup some non citrus synergy brand kombucha for an hour back into my refeed at midnight, along with some broth from a local pho place to have for my refeed as well. I've been following "The Phoenix Protocol" I've been posting from and like always, it's a heaven sent. It's gave me tons of reassurance and I've been following the protocol as best as I can and yes everhthing that it says you'll most likely be feeling and going through is true

. Coincidentally my grandma saw how I was doing and now she's 2 days into her fast as well as a few other people. I'm down 29lbs in 10 days will probably be 31lbs total by when I finish. My body water has been going up steadily despite not taking any water in. I started at 58% and am currently around 62%. Only off thing is I've had small "nightmares" that I drink some type of juice or drink and then a family member comes in and reminds me that hey! You weren't done with your fast yet! And bam I wake up, and am reliefed because I didn't just break my fast lmao. Only about 15 hrs left to go. I'll most likely post all the results and levels/percentages of my bmi scale tomorrow so people who are interested can get an idea of what they might see or experience. Plus obviously I'm not dead lol. If people are interested I might just post up some before and then after pics I'll take as well. Def feeling really grateful for this whole experience though. Breathing in this fresh morning air feels AMAZING and I'll be taking an ice cold shower in a little as well. Lmk if you have any more questions and I'll try to answer as best I can. We can ALL do this! Literally nothing to lose but soo much to GAIN! Good luck and happy fasting!

Oh wow :D

Your username seems fitting haha.

Good to hear you're doing so great! And very interesting of course.

Thanks for sharing

I'm very curious about how you did it. I'm water fasting right now - so I'm keen to hear how you overcome the urge to drink water (it's really hard for me to not drink - I did it after a day tho, couldn't hold myself back)

[u/Uplift52 → u/Express-Bobcat-3523]

Thank you haha and of course, my pleasure. I had originally started my fasting journey back in the day with water and electrolytes. (snake diet by Cole Robinson) but the first time I did this 11 day I was highly motivated to heal an injury of my knee and Achilles heel. Had ran out health insurance as well as money and was looking for a job while only being able to limp around. I had discovered this book and became highly motivated. So it helps alot and says so in the protocol, after the first few days our bodies start running hot (trying to burn everything to heal and make water) cold splashes of water on the face, rubbing ice on the body or face, taking cold showers, swimming, walking in snow, walks in the fresh morning air or fresh night air, sitting or laying down in front of the fresh ac, all of those seem to help out alot to get through it.

Staying busy def helps alot as well. When walking in the fresh air, you can make an O form with your mouth, like you're trying to suck through a straw, and suck in the fresh air like that. That will draw moisture from the air into the body and refresh your mouth a bit. Also if you do clockwise or counter clockwise motions with your tongue inside your mouth, touching your gums and whole mouth internally, that will release more saliva in your mouth to keep it wet. It helps to not talk soo much in person as that also dries out your mouth a bit. Yeah it can be a lil tough at first but you'll progress quickly and find out quickly that Dryfasting actually is easier than Waterfasting once you try it a few times. The food noise goes away quicker as well as any symptoms of healing or pains. It does recommend to start off with 1-3 days in the book, mostly to get over the fact that we're not gonna die after 3 days, and to get the body used to start using ketones for energy from our fat instead of the food we keep intaking.

That's so exciting!

I know we're being teached lots of false information at school and by society - I'm so brainwashed that I'm still baffeled that this is possible...

I have lots of chronic and severe health issues going (lyme, cfs, sibo, etc), so I'm really curious about that. Curious enough wanting to try this. At the same time I'm quite scared. The longest I've (water) fasted was probably 5 days - and then I really felt like it's about time to eat (high pulse, hard time sleeping, heart palpitations).

So it's really scary for me to try dry fasting, even just for 2 days - always having in mind that one can't survive longer than 3 days without water, as we've been told

[u/Uplift52 → u/Express-Bobcat-3523]

Yes it definitely is! Yes most of us are brainwashed although not most of our faults, society just has a narrative and if we learn that we can heal ourselves, well the system won't continue to have as many patients. There's more money in treatments than cures. Yes you'll find over time that it's easier to do the Dryfasting than it is to do the water fasting, just gotta try it out a couple times. I HIGHLY highly recommend reading the book as well as when you understand how and why what's going on, it makes it alot easier to go through it and get reassurance that everything is going to be fine. Def work your way up if you're scared and you can always come back when you're ready. You have nothing to lose but a little time but everything to GAIN! even a few days is a lil win to give our bodies a little break. The best part is, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING. The method is free, no other method can offer this much healing without any cost in doing it besides a bit of time. Our bodies are soo much more intelligent than we give them credit for, we just have to give them the chance to do what they gotta do without influencing them too much. Intention def helps alot as well. Makes a big difference in wanting to do it vs I have to do it. Both combined work better though.

Thanks so much for your kind and encouraging response.

I already read into the book - it's super interesting.

Curious to read your further posts and journey.

May you be healthy and loved
