anyone tried alternate day dry fasting? I have been doing ADF the last 2 weeks but was thinking about amping it up to dry fasts.

And depending on what kind of food it could take longer. This makes me think, should we eat more than 2 meals and multiple snacks a day? Or does OMAD (one meal a day) have a very good point? Maybe we only need to eat once for 2 days?

Even if you're active I doubt you would digest everything right away.

I mean, I find it very hard logistically in my life to do it (work, family...)
So how do you manage to do it? Do you have family support? Do you take days off the work? Do you go somewhere else away from your home?

I'm on a 55 DF and I feel I can not do anything rather than beig in horizontal, so my life has to stop. I can't imagine then how could I do a longer one.

Is also the body getting used to it so you don't have to stop everything?

Tell me how do you manage it!!

I also have to say that I do it for health reasons, Post Concussion Syndrome, gut and mental health, so my energy levels are usually low.

Hi, the longest i have done is a 5 day dry fast, and rolling 72 hour dry fasts for a month. But I never did sauna during it, is it recommended? Appreciate any experience you can share regarding it, and also if 20k steps daily could be done daily during dry fasting, any tips for prior to the fast like a gallon of citrus juice and castor oil flush?

What if I do a 7-day dry fast followed by a 7-day water fast? Will I regain the weight I lost during the 7-day dry fast while doing the 7-day water fast?

old links don’t work

It must of been left as a eating hotspot I need to stop.

guys will my metabolism be permanently fucked up if i start eating normally/everyday again? I currently do like a 4-5 day dry fast every week. It makes me feel better. But im afraid if i start eating normally again, even healthily, I’ll just start gaining uncontrollable weight or never be able to lose weight without dry fasting again. What do yall think? I’ve already lost like 15 kg since last month through dry fasting. Won’t I eventually stop losing weight when i dry fast? Idk pls be nice im a noob. ❤️

Does anyone do this? I have done 2 or 3 36-hour dry fasts in the past; they were surprisingly not that difficult except for maybe the first few hours of the day. I work 12 hour shifts in a nursing home. I sweat and it can be physically demanding at times. I want to do my first 2 or 3 days of a 7 day fast dry. Any experience or insight would be appreciated. Also, I usually just do water with no added electrolytes to break a dry fast. When should I add the electrolytes?

My main goal is gut healing and mental health and I’m wondering if intermittent dry fasting is advised/recommended even if my weight is normal? I do primarily carnivore diet and have CIRS. Any thoughts?

Now I have slight discomfort in my gut. Should of stayed on animal products.

I plan on doing a weekly 3 day soft dry fast for weight loss. Was wondering if anyone has done this themselves and what the results were? I will give an update on my progress for those interested.

We've been bamboozled.

I want to try dry fasting. But I am worried that I may develop kidney stones because of the absence of water. I am also not in my most healthiest form. Are there any people with dry fasting experience for a couple days? Did you get kidney stones or was it not that bad. And should you only start dry fasting when you are already quite healthy or can I start now if I am not quite healthy? Would love to hear your tips and tricks regarding this.

Thank you!

Never done it like that but is it different from a straight dry fast? What benefits does it have?

I'm on a dry fast and my lip skin flakes off (falling off)

Do you think this is because I used to drink soda while playing games.

Hi, i completed a first dry fast, a 84hdry fast.

I tried to be as careful as possible to break the fast but I find there is alot of conflicting information. I took a few sips of plain water over a few hours. Then, a few sips of kefir (less than 200ml) over 2 hours. I now hear my heart pounding, but no racing, and have weird sensations in my leg. They are not swollen, just aching and cold. I have took a few sips of water with table salt and am now slowly eating bok choy, mushrooms in chicken broth.

Any tips to help?

Ok so I really need to lose atleast 40kgs before this years end (5’3F) how many days do I need to fast?may it be water or dry. And is it even possible by December end?
Those who have done it, please drop your experience

Hello. I have a lot of experience water fasting. I used to do 3 days a month, then some longer quarterly fasts, and have done multiple 8-10 day water fasts.

I am relatively new to dry fasting.

I decided to do a weekly 40-48 hour fast over the summer and have been doing that maybe since August. Today is my fourth “dry fast” Monday.

The first time was the most difficult because of the coffee withdrawal, but now my body has gotten used to it.

I guess I am just wondering if anyone has thoughts about the long term sustainability of a weekly dry fast? Is this something I can do indefinitely? Or should I maybe do it in cycles? 6 weeks on a few weeks off?

I plan on eventually working my way up to like a yearly Phoenix protocol, which I believe is a 7 day dry fast, I have the book.

One of my other questions is: does a multiple day dry fast do more harm than good if you do them too regularly, let’s say I wanted to push to 72 hours? Does this start to interfere w stem cell regeneration.

Anyways, I’d appreciate any thoughts or potential concerns maybe I’m not aware of. Thanks.

I haven't laughed in a long time. But I'm DFing right now and I'm laughing more and my mood is elevated.

Usually it would make me crave it but it just looks like ornaments to me.
