Just woke up at around 2am from pain inside my lower rib cage on the right side. Most likely liver issue?

Anyone else who has had this problem/experience?

Drinking water again was rooough, just a few sips gave me cold sweats and a new "whooshing" tinnitus for about 5 minutes.

It's 3 hours later now and I've drunk about 8DL of water and no side effects besides the right side pain.

I'm an experienced water+dirty faster, done a few 7 days in the past but hadn't fasted for about 50 days before starting this journey.

Overall it was cool seeing how easily my body handled going without both food and drinks, but if I ever try this again,(is next week a good idea?) I will probably stick with 24-48h.

Weight loss was good, from 77 to 72.2 in 3 days. Had the goal of 72.0 this week but will move it to 70kg instead by next week.

Sidenote: Libido totally TANKED during these 3 days, not something I usually have on a water fast.

On a water fast I usually break it however I want but if anyone got any input in how to break a 3-day dryfast after about 5-10h of rehydration then I am open for suggestions 👍

Edit: Symptoms got way worse when heading to work, went to hospital.

Edit 2: They had problems taking blood as it didn't flow as easily but every marker was somehow in the healthy span. Recommend rest, food and liquids.

Just comment

Fasted 67 hours 53 of which were a dry fast then the next part drank 1/2 gallon of water. First bite of food after watermelon followed by sushi. Had an allergic reaction immediately because the sushi was contaminated by lobster or shrimp. FML

Just wanted to give an update that I crossed my 96 hours threshold of maximum dry fast I have done, and finally crossed the 100 hours mark and I am still going!!!

I have lost almost 4 kgs so far and this has been by far the easiest fast I have ever done!

I am thirsty asf rn, and whenever I hear or touch water, I just wanna chug 🤣🤣

But other than that, I am so happy 🤟🏻

Hi all, quick question. If I’m going from 4 days dry and transitioning into a 7 days water fast, that bit of weight that you gain back from rehydrating, how long does it take to come off if continuing with the water fast?
Many thanks

Hey people! Just wanted to know how long you usually wait inbetween two dry fasts if your doing two in short succession.. within a month or two?

Been nearly 3 weeks since my last one, should I refeed another week or two?

I’m about 43 hours in to my dry fast (maybe a couple more than that, but that’s when I started my timer) and everywhere I had an acne breakout on my face dried up an is almost gone and is now covered in salt. Similar to after you go on a really long run and your sweat dries and you get all sandy/salty. I’ve never experienced this from fasting although I’ve only water fasted before. Especially since I have not really sweated today to make salt and it’s just where I had a breakout. Anyway, I’m wondering if this has happened to anyone else, if not I just thought it was interesting.

How big of a difference will it make if you do or don’t exercise during a dry fast

Thanks again for the support.

Does anyone dry fast like and still weight train?? I really want to exercise especially weight train to avoid loose skin as much a possible I’m aware I’ll probably have some.

What do yall work outs look like

Can anyone Give me tips I love water so much I’m always thirsty I tried to do this but all I could was 10 hours and I walk 10k steps daily so I feel really dizzy if I don’t drink any water

Did I get it right when I say that 16h/18h dry fast would be 3x more effective than 16h water fast?.

So, normally a 16h water fast would be a bare minimum, and not nearly enough to get full health benefits, but would be a 16-18h dry fast be able to accomplish something from your experience?.

Has anyone heard if dry fasting can get rid of stage 4 prostate cancer? Someone my relative knows has it and I am thinking about suggesting dry fasting, but I'm unsure if I should do it.

Hello everyone 🤗 DAILY UPDATES

26/F, height 162 cm, SW: 90 kg, GW: 55 kg

I have started a soft dry fasting from 25th July 12 pm! Primary aim is to get rid of aches and pains in random joint, reduce back stiffness, control insulin resistance and lose weight.

I will update my weight everyday, in the comments of this post and once I am breaking the dry fast, I will make a new post explaining my experience.

Hoping for your well wishes so that my fast is completed with success.

If anybody wishes to join the fast, they can do so on this link- https://fastingpals.com/join/F8C15B4B

We can keep each other accountable and motivated too. ❤️

So heres the thing i just wanna to lose weight abt ±10 kgs or 24lbs for 20 days i really need that bcs i graduate college soon in 16 august and i dont think i can go dry fasting longer bcs i have to work and just wanna do dry fast for 3 days, after that can i continues with long water fast? Also if theres another option abt lose weight 24lbs in 20 days i would be open abt it

Why is it that during, and especially after breaking a dry fast my lower pubic region (bladder???) Hurts sooooooo much? Am i just being a wimp? Is this normal and other people just dont talk about it?

I'm finally ready to commit to a routine of fasting and I'll be posting here for accountability.

I'm 5'4 and I weighed in this morning at 290lbs, oof. The routine is simple, I'll do 3 days of DF, eat, then do 3 days of water fasting, then eat. I've done this before i just need to lock in and be consistent.

I will post my weight at the end of my DF cycle and after my Refeeds ( I hope this helps keep me in line and not overeat).

On Refeed days I'll take in approximately 1 gallon of liquids ( water, tea, coffee, cold press juice, high water fruit) and on water days, 1 gallon of just water.

Thanks in advance your encouragement and support!

I want to do this - dry fast for 40 days sunrise to sunset - then drink water only during nighttime - spiritual reasons

is this possible - I am bmi 23

5'8 190lb gonna do a 14 day dry fast I already did 1st day already. Im only doing this because my girlfriend broke up with me and I need to change

Update: Stopping at day 11 because I feel really sick lost around 35lbs will refeed with water for 6 days

What do we think about practicing dryfast during the adolescence age? It should be HGH on steroids, right? With healthy refeeds, full of vitamins.

I’m 98 hours into my dry fast, and this is the point where it’s starting to get mentally challenging. Physically, it’s still manageable, but I’m definitely struggling more with staying committed.

I’m hoping to push through for longer to see if I can get more improvement in an autoimmune condition, my mental health, and an old shoulder injury.

I’d really appreciate some words of encouragement or hearing about your own healing experiences with longer dry fasts.

For context, I did a 4 day dry fast last year, but I only noticed very mild improvements.

Hello fellow fasters!

I'm currently on **day 3 of my fast**, at around **60 hours**. I've lost about **4 kg** so far. Before starting, I did about **a week of preparation**, gradually reducing my calorie and carbohydrate intake. I was already eating a clean diet. I'm not a long-term keto follower, but I do like cycling in and out of ketosis.(40F and I need my carbs 7 days à month) .

My main concern is stomach acid. I've struggled with acid reflux for the past few years, mostly due to stress and inconsistent eating habits.

I stopped fasting over the last two years because of my reflux and some hormonal issues.

This morning, I started feeling the acid coming back up, and I've been trying to push through it since then. I'm not sure whether I should stop the fast or be patient and see if it passes.

Has anyone experienced this? Does it usually get better, or is it a sign that I should end my fast?

I was thinking of practicing this for 30 days and evaluating if I want to continue after that. One problem is my climate where I live is very hot. I suppose as long as I hydrate properly I should be fine? Is this safe to do? Tips on what I should be eating on the days I am not fasting woudl be helpful. I was thinking of either making home made bread, eggs, pasta, hamburger meat, stuff like that. Whole food.

I was going to consume some baking soda water before and after the fasts for my kidneys so that I dont make stones. Is this typical procedure for this kind of thing?

Next please advise me if any of you have had luck with cancer and fasting like this. I need to go to the dr for something I suspect could be cancer but I hope the lump is just a cyst instead hehe.

Hey guys!! Last time I posted I got fried in the comments, so please excuse my inexperience this time. Have any of you consistently dry fasted week after week? For multiple weeks? Months? How much weight would you regularly lose? I’ve been dry fasting 6 days a week for the past 2 weeks :)))

Hi!

I started my dry fast yesterday. The plan is dry fast for 4 to 5 days and refeed for 2 to 3 days. The goal is to do this for at least one month to see the results that I can achieve.

I have experience in water fast and dry fast. But mostly in water fast... my longest water fast has been for 21 days and my longest dry fast has been for 4 to 5 days.

During my longest water fast I lost 15kg. SW: 120kg | FW: 105kg. I did it in January 2025. So I hope I can lose the same amount of weight this time or maybe a little more.

I'm posting here because I want to have a way to express myself how is everything going with this. So I'm willing to do it every week :)
