I did not know how to cross-link my msg:

Advice on cross linking, anyone?
So here is also the text:
72 hrs in, last 24 hrs dry fast. These 24 hrs were quite challenging. My instincts were playing tricks - when my focus was elsewhere I seem to have poured a glass of water, this one I did not drink because my focus shifted to the glass, but I remember at one point before that having the sensation of having watery-wet lips (whereas today they are always warm-dry), I might have cheated subconsciously with 200 ml of water, lol.
Ketones 8 mmol/l.
H/A and sinus pain tolerable but very gnawing; I only forget it when I work on a business task.
I was seated quite a few hours today behind the computer, then again working about 2 hrs in bed with the laptop.
BP 106/74 laying down HR 80
BP 156/97 shortly after moving around the room with respective HR 81
It is good that the pressure compensates instead of rising HR more.
I lost 2 kg (or 4 lbs) in the last 24 hrs, while I hadn't lost any in the previous 48 hrs of WF.
Urine very concentrated and smelly, sweat doesn't smell - I think I stopped sweating. I was cold for a while, then laid on my hot blanket for the last 4 hrs at 41 degree Celsius and felt pretty content temperature-wise.
I had always water in mind, even while working it popped now and then ... if you want to forget food during your WF, just do a 12 to 24 hrs DF, the only thing coming to your mind would be water, LOL.
About to break the fast either now after few more water cups, or tomorrow morning.
Will follow up on weight and ketones for 2 more days - evening/maybe mornings too. Just curious, not that it matters that much in a short fast.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 2,249,561Hi DL! Congrats with dry fasting. I did one last week for 2.5 days about 65 hours (that was my first time). I am on my second attempt at dry fasting. I'm at 45 hours right now. I totally know what you mean about forgetting about food when DF since you think more about water. Interestingly, my first couple of days DF last week was such a good experience that I actually preferred it to water fasting. I wasn't hungry and hardly felt thirst. But this time things were different. I picked up a cold/virus and thought that it was a good opportunity to test DF and see how quickly it would heal my body. Well, this round was much rougher. I will definitely go through with this till tomorrow. Mentally I want to go beyond what I did the last time. It be nice to hit 72 hours and make it officially 3 days completed but we shall see what tomorrow will bring. Urine was more concentrated and stronger in odor the first DF last week. This one is not as much. I do daily trips to dry/wet sauna to help sweat out toxins and raise my core temp. Like you, I use an electric blanket. I'm underneath it now at "high". Congrats again with your fasting journey.
Blessings to you.

This is a reply to # 2,249,565Thank you so much, Caa!
I wish I could go further in DF as you do.
I feel it is harder for me to DF. I kind of have not much reserves of water; even while eating raw I consume at least 1.5-2 liters of water. I was a big challenge. I will do few 24 hrs and then slowly try 36 hrs, then another 12 hrs further. I think I got a bug too, as you did. I was hoping for, and had, some sinus healing, but the quantity of mucus and the heavy pain showed there was a bug too.
I already had a small fruit meal and I will try not to bulk up on all that delicious raw food I got. I saw that only hydrating myself I ended up 2 lbs heavier. Which is Ok .. but kind of important dehydration while DF - like 2% of body weight, without sweating at all, just renal work. I wish I could go to sauna too, but as of status-quo I will have to become more resilient to do that.
Blessing to you, Caa.

Good morning DesertLili.
I think DF will be more challenging for people who are big water/fluid drinkers in general. My Aunt is a huge water drinker. Always very thirsty and she just completed her first water fast. She said she couldn't imagine attempting a dry fast. On a typical day for me, I have to make a big conscious effort to get water in. I really don't look for it and don't think much about it unless my body temp heats up like in sauna or working out. Those are really the only times I think about water so I think that's why DF seems better for me than water fasting. Actually drinking water while fasting actually has a tendency to trigger hunger for me.
I'm also with you with pushing your DF limits a little further with each try. My first attempt I was a bit nervous since I honestly wasn't expecting to go beyond 16 hours so when I got past 2 days I was afraid of what my body was going to do. Maybe it's a non-physcial detox or just my western medicine background throwing alarm bells of "hazardous to your health" ideas. Fasting always gives me more interesting insight in the workings of my mind rather than the body.
About picking up a bug during a fast. It's made this fast more challenging. I was congested and had all this sinus stuff going on. The way I'm trying to look at it is DF is allowing 100% of energy to be focused into my immune system/healing. I think I'm moving through it quicker than if I wasn't doing DF.
I'm happy for you that you are now at the re-feeding stage. WOOOOHOOO. Personally, when I come off the fast I actually do more a Paleo route without fruit/fruit juice. I start with the veggies/chicken broth. It keeps me on ketosis and keeps the whole water retention under control when I initially re-feed. It also helps so I don't just rebound and binge on food. Any type of Sugar (including fruit) are triggers for me.
I love that fasting gets us in touch with ourselves. We are listening to what our bodies tell us. And hopefully for those on this journey of increased self-awareness for healing may lead to the opening which allows one to get more in touch intuitively with our higher Self.
I'm so grateful for the support of these message boards and being able to connect with others going through a similar journey. Sending loving healing re-feeding energy your way my friend.

This is a reply to # 2,249,648Wanted to toss my 2 cents into the fountain too!
Actually rather like dry fasting.. felt like another big accomplishment on my small list of hoorays!
Type 1, type 2 diabetics: Of course you can dry fast and wet fast!
I started with wet, have an insulin pump, self-manage the insulin levels for the night over, etc. Dry fasting for 24 hours in easter break was hard because everyone around me was eating and drinking, but I did it! :-)
considering another.
been eating raw for ~4-5 days now.. had a salad last night with some conventional dressing, and had a big spike in cravings for carbohydrates. :-(
Right back to raw.. my body has been telling me, 'NUH! I dun' want the other stuff right now!'
Bless~
