I posted on here some time ago about doing a 10-day water fast...

I did that and felt great.

Now, I did a 5 day dry fast. No food...or water for 5 days.

It went great.

Some say you can't live without water for over 3 days...yes you can.

The whole DFing thing is awesome.

Has anyone else tried it or heard about it?

      Don't try it if you have medical issues. I should have said that in my post.

    What 'they' say - is the rule of 3...

    Your life is at risk with...

    3 minutes without oxygen
    3 days without water
    3 weeks without food

    Of course, that's not written in stone - you might be able to go longer this time but maybe not next time? What is the 'payoff' of denying your body of fluids?

    Fasting for 2-3 days (food) is one thing but I would worry about damaging organs by deliberately becoming dehydrated. When you do not supply your body with what it needs to function...you risk your body shutting down on you.

    Dehydration happens quickly, causing extreme thirst, fatigue, organ failure and death. Without water, a person may progress from thirst and slightly lethargic on the first day to organ failure on the third day.
    Kidney failure is not something to mess with. If you continue to test your body with these fasts...at least please be certain to have a friend or family member checking on you. Don't trust your own perceptions as they may be 'off'.

      I can understand what you're saying...

      but I'm telling you, there's a whole lot more to this if anyone takes the time to study it.

      There are so so so many benefits to it that I can't even go into them all. There really is some science behind it.

      It doesn't get a lot of press because it's free and doesn't cost money to do.

      Look into it and Google it...there's a lot going on with it

    Don't understand why you have to dry fast along with food fast.

    I try to be open minded but to me this makes no sense at all. You are just adding a risk factor that does not need to be added to basically get the same results

      When I first heard about this I thought it was the nuttiest thing I'd ever heard of.

      But, I can say, like a lot of others say after they've tried it that it really is a hidden secret.

      Your body actually holds a lot of water. You won't thirst to death. Once your body starts craving water it starts to get water from within itself.

      Dry Fasting actually has put a lot of diseases into remission and even cured others.

      Dry Fasting is also one of...if not the best way for someone to lose weight. People have lost 5 pounds per day easily. Now, some of that comes back when you start drinking and eating again, but the normal weight loss that stays off is about 2 pounds per day.

      Also with dry fasting it greatly prevents saggy skin since the body pulls water from the fat cells and destroys the cells.

      There's a lot to go into about this...

      I would just suggest someone look into it to find out more and decide if it's really that crazy.

      There are FB groups and even a couple of forums on Reddit for it

          In 5 days I dropped about 20 pounds...but then again I don't have a whole lot of body fat since I've been a runner for a long time.

            It was probably mostly water and Lean muscle mass . If someone is under thirty they can probably recover the lean muscle rather quickly with resistance training

            In any case something like this should not be done by someone who can't afford the medical bills if some of the many things that can go wrong go wrong.

            So what is the science back long term benefits of doing this 6 months to a year out. And with the loss or damage to muscle mass . How long does it take to put the weight back on and then some. If it's mainly water weight being Lost.

              Back in my 20's I, for a time, got up early and went for a Jog/Run. Just a mile perhaps. The same day, I then did one round of the Bull-worker, a resistance training device. Within a month or two my body was getting like that of a lean bodybuilder. As for food, I ate what I liked. No need to starve yourself if you want to be lean and fit.

                Well. No need to starve oneself .there is a need to develop self control and feed a healthy gut . instead of satisfying the taste buds and the dopamine receptors. Then ignoring the effects of poor diet . Things such as acid reflux and bloating gas and the effects of food hang overs. When over eating on a regular basis causes undigested protein into the bloodstream and causes inflammation.

                Learning to put on your plate what will just about fill your stomach. Instead of waiting for your stomach to tell you to stop eating.

    @Odahh -

    The lean muscle loss is very minimal in study after study. It has been shown that more lean muscle mass is lost on other restricted diets than dry fasting even comes close to competing with.

    Yes, a lot of the weight loss is water, but as I said there is still an average of 2 pounds of fat loss per day that doesn't come back unless you continue to follow your old habits.

    One thing though, dry fasting is not just for weight loss. The thousands of studies that have been conducted have shown time and time again that the health benefits (besides weight loss) are phenomenal.

    I sometimes find it amusing that people will spend billions each year to lose weight or control a disease they have when one of the easiest cures is free.

    I have a relative who is very overweight tell me dry fasting was very unhealthy...go figure. Obesity and being overweight are one of the leading causes of health issues yet he can't seem to see that.

    Ramadan is a 30-day dry fast. Yes, it's only from sun up to sun down...but studies have also shown that just that also does good things for a person's health.

    There's a lot to say on this subject...but as I said earlier in this thread, there are a lot of websites that cover this. Dr Filnov was one of the early doctors who studied dry fasting...he studied it with thousands of patients and if you read his material you'll see tons of miraculous recoveries.

    I know it's not for everyone...but have an open mind, look into it and decide for yourself

    I did take some time to read through some of the top 'results' online that focused on 'dry fasting'. Almost every article mentioned 'weight loss' as primary benefit. If you don't eat or drink you will lose weight...is that surprising?

    They also almost all mentioned 'ketosis' - the basis for the keto diet fad that has been going on for the past few years. Eat protein and NO carbs and your body will begin to use your own fat stores to produce energy...voila...'ketosis'.

    Ramadan is a 30-day dry fast. Yes, it's only from sun up to sun down...but studies have also shown that just that also does good things for a person's health.
    No - Ramadan is a 12 hr dry fast daily for a month. It is common to have a 'pre-fast' meal before the sun comes up where protein and electrolytes are the focus to get people through the day of fasting.

    Once it is dark - the food comes out and several meals and snacks are often consumed through the night. Also, in some countries businesses and schools reduce hours during Ramadan to account for the decreased energy levels. Ramadan can be compared to intermittent fasting perhaps.

    When I see article after article making the same claims but using the same 'buzzwords' - I find it hard to buy into what they are selling. I did see quit a few articles that mentioned 'studies show' - but none of them listed the exact 'studies'. If there are such studies - probably boring as hell to read.

    Will be interested to see how far you take this and what your results are. I firmly believe every person should try the diets that appeal to them. The only reason we do the '3 meals a day' is convenience so why not be different?

    @ Kay -

    In all fairness, I can pull up negative sides to any diet out there. Keto diet...yes, there are several doctors that say it's unhealthy...

    Adkins...yes, several doctors say it's unhealthy.

    On the other hand, I can also pull up report after report of doctors who say each one of these diets is in fact completely healthy.

    I don't have a weight issue or a medical issue right now...I was hearing about dry fasting and looked into it.

    It's also important...as I mentioned with different opinions about any diet...use your own judgment.

    I'm a firm believer in dry fasting...

    I probably won't do one for a while again, but I believe it is healthy and has a ton of benefits.

    There is just so much nonsense about so much in the diet industry...so many lies that try and get people to spend money...just do your homework and be wise

    Edit: I would just add, google the benefits of dry fasting also...then make your judgment against reading about the negative benefits. I always like to have both sides. I actually tried it, and to be honest, I felt the best mentally and physically I have in a long time. Just my thoughts

      This is fascinating. I'm just curious, if I don't eat or drink anything until the late afternoon I start to get dizzy and nauseous. I don't purposely do this I just get really busy sometimes. I'm already very skinny and if I don't consume anything until the evening I get so dizzy and unwell feeling I couldn't go any longer without anything. Do you consume any sort of electrolytes/minerals when you're doing this fast? Do you get dizzy or nauseous?

        I didn't take any electrolytes on the dry fast. On the water fast I started taking them at about day 6.

        It sounds like your blood sugar levels get very low from not eating. I'm not a doctor, but that would be my guess.

        With dry fasting, I got a little hungry on day 1...from then on I wasn't hungry at all. I also started to think about water on day 5 and was craving an orange drink.

        I jumped into it pretty hard right away by going 5 days right off the bat. Most people recommend you start out with like a 24-hour...then 48...then maybe 72, and on.

        One thing, just about anyone who has any experience in dry fasting will tell you, is not to do it if you have any medical conditions without consulting your doctor. Then again, the same should be said for any diet you attempt.

    While there is research on daytime water fasting that show health benefits.thede are not many studies on healthy adults for prolonged or 5 day dry fasting.

    I prefer time restricted feeding eating all my fo in under 6 hours did me really good the first six months. As for dry fasting I sweat way to much so . Now where my extreme thing is to get 3-10 table spoons of ground flaxseed and fermented foods in every day with the current being gochujang sauce.

    One thing overweight people deal with is metabolic inflexibility. So the body never shifts from burning sugar to burning fat.

    Time restricted feeding and alternative day fasting reset the bodies ability to switch.

    If you are other wise healthy or just desperate for some relief from a disease try dry fasting for multiple days. But time restricted eating for months at a time works as well

        I looked for research studies . Not individual accounts.

        Research studies on 5 day dry fasting. So far can only find one that had ten people in the study. Maybe there are more research studies.

        I do short fasts of almost a day I really wouldn't try to go without water as I dehydrate fast.

        And I have seen hundreds or thousands of positive accounts for every fad diet someone can make up.so without multiple research studies.

        Adding
        If it did have the panacea of health benefits there wou be lots of money in it for dry fasting clinics that provide medical supervision in a comfortable and controled environment. Dry fasting retreat and the like.

          There are also thousands of documented case studies.

          Dr. Filnov has a good book out with lots of studies...maybe you can start there?

          You can also read 'The Phoenix Protocol'. It's available on Amazon.

          Also, I said I did 5 days. Some go 10. Some go 3. Some go 7. Some go over 10.

      I have studied to much marketing even if I have not used it to make money up to this point. When these claims sound like a marketing message. I get suspicious.

      But I do like when this stuff gets researched and the mechanisms that make them beneficial. Get figured out.

      Also it seems the same way fasting supposedly mimics periods without food. There might be some benefits to radically changing your diet to mimic seasonality.

        It didn't cost me a penny to do a 5 day dry fast...and I didn't have to spend a penny when it was over. All it took me was some time to do the research.

        Keto products are all over the grocery stores. Adkins also...gluten free...no sugar, low sugar...

        Millions spent on Botox and plastic surgery and liposuction and stomach bypasses...

        so yeah, I can see how something that is free would make you cautious

    Well see that is far more helpful getting results. As I have found time restricted feeding work s for me and can easily be done over months. I prefer to live in hot dry/ hot humid environments where I move around outside and sweat plenty on a daily basis.

    My view is too add elements and practices to my day to day practices the support enhance my bodies natural ability to detox.

    The same way our stomach and body react to eating to much food our bodies let us know if we have a build up of toxins.

    How long before can you go after a shower without perfume calone. Or deodorant and how much can you sweat be the oder is unbearable.

    If someone doesn't do the day to day they probably need to do the occasional invasive and extreme practice.

    There seem to be some potential added benefits to dry fasting, although admittedly I haven't looked into it deeply. Five days is intense though for sure.

    Just eat healthy and don't eat a lot of junk food, self-control is the most important thing.

  • I believe also 'stracktin' semen from a mayull baboon is naht only illegal but also impossible without the right equipment.

    * I dated a guy worked in a zoo,so I gaht previous. Naht baboons zackly ... kinda reptiles .. yeah but that is way bettah a start point than marsoopyools or nuthin' ... *

    My view?

    Most availabyool volumes of politely proffered cocktails are infinitely more desirable than any trooly freely flowin' semen.

    * An I know this bcs I woke up freakwaaaahlnt butween the swishy swoopsy BEDSHEETS OF POSSIBILITY without SNAGGIN' HALF MUH FRICKIN' FANJSCAPE in like kinda SLIME OF THE HAPLESS. *

    @ Princess -

    'What you takin about Willis' is from some sitcom I think in the 70s. It used to be a popular saying.

    I do try and eat healthy.

    One thing I had read time and time again and didn't fully grasp was all the people that said when you fast you realize how much of your time is devoted to food...and I don't think anyone really can grasp that unless they've actually fasted.

    It was mind-boggling when I fasted to realize how much time each day actually was devoted to food. We get bored and get a snack. We think about what we're going to eat...then we make it...then we eat it...then we do the dishes...then we take a break and start all over again.

    Anyways, our diets are the #1 cause of illness. Food affects so much of our bodies and people don't realize how much. It literally affects everything you do or feel.

    When I was water fasting...and still do sometimes, people would say 'That's dangerous to deprive your body of food'...yet most people eat food every day that contributes to their health going down the drain.

    When I got done with my 10-day water fast I had blood work done and the results were excellent. It is good to give your body a break sometimes from all the food that gets thrown at it.

    So, just a little thing I did. Others can decide for themselves if it's right for them or not

        I think you are missing the point.

        It doesn't have to be true. It's spiffy to say. And it's a compulsive part of our nature to put things in categories....and also to make statements more poetic.

        For example;

        If I said "It's about 5 seconds without Oxygen getting to the brain to pass out, 10 minutes without Oxygen getting to the brain before permanent brain damage, maybe a week or two without water (depending on how much fat is stored)...and you can live without food until your fat stores are gone, and your muscles have been catabolized......"

        I wouldn't be invited to parties...and stand up comedy wouldn't be on the table either.

    I saw your previous post about water fasting and it's interesting you took it up a notch with a dry fast. I'd be careful though - going that long without water can be dangerous if not done properly. While detoxing and clearing your system can have benefits, make sure to speak with your doctor before attempting anything that extreme. Fasting is definitely a personal journey, but it's always good to consult medical advice first when pushing limits. Just want you to be safe!

      Thanks.

      I actually did a 10 day dry fast a couple of weeks ago.

      No food or water for 10 days.

      Don't think I'll ever go any longer...but it was a great experience.

      Edit: I had said 'water fast' but meant dry fast.

    Don't fast unnecessarily it is not good for your health, but if you want to try it then it is your choice.

      On a side note, I'm always amazed when someone fasts by all the people who say it is dangerous...

      yet, I see overweight, obese people all the time shopping for groceries and waddling through the store...or riding a cart...eating at restaurants, smoking like a chimney, drinking like a fish...getting no exercise...

      and I wonder if I should go up to them and advise them to consult with their doctor before buying that cart full of junk food or doing nothing for exercise, or eating at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

      When someone does something that improves their health...and has been done millions of times...people always advise you to consult a doctor.

      I'm not putting you down...I appreciate your comment and feedback...and I know you're trying to be helpful...

      just spouting off I guess about people in general.
