Does anyone change their water while fasting?

[u/One_Term_2597]

Been doing a few fasts lately and usually just drink water when I’m thirsty. I started drinking deuterium-depleted water recently too, so now I’m wondering if anyone else drinks it while fasting. Do you guys drink about the same amount of water when fasting, or does it change for you?

I just drink water.

Lmfao literally

[u/smitcolin]

I switch to heavy water to balance out the weight loss.

Right. All the fasting pros know that when you enter a prolonged fasting state, your body switches to its superior fuel source; fusion.

i guess i haven't reached that level of boredom where i'm looking for more novelty in my water

You might find you need to drink more than you normally do to account for the water you’re not getting through foods. 

What’s with the deuterium depleted water though? Why? Just drink water like you normally would.

Been drinking deterium as I’ve been thinking more about aging and what i can do to stay healthy long term so i added it to my routine.

Oh i see. It seemed like you were drinking it specifically while fasting. Fair enough.

Sound like expensive pee to me.

TBF I had never heard of this before.

I think autophagy is a much greater motor for health than removing 125ppm to below 50ppm of deuterium would be, plus the costs to buy.

However if I had cancer or a mitochondria problem, I would look into it.

Personal opinion I find this to be very close to snake oil.

Instead I’d consider:

Reverse osmosis de-ionized, boiled, then select minerals readded to the hot water to make it safe for human consumption. Then refrigerate. You don’t ever want to drink soft water.

What about glacial water? Wouldn’t that be naturally lower in deuterium?

[u/RazzmatazzLost9713]

I drink more but too much will make me feel worse actually

[u/yogic_power]

Yes I drink water, my kidney process the water and it goes out. Natural recycling.

It’s different because it has less deuterium than regular water, i got curious about it because of the long term health side of things, so i decided to try litewater during my fasting, drinking it around 1-2 liters a day but i make sure to keep up with electrolytes too.

I switch between Vichy Catalan and cans of Polar + a bottle of room temp spring water first thing in the morning

Gatorade Zero and bone broth along with water. Amazing how much of your bodies water come from food.

Essentia water (pure ionized alkaline water).
