Hello Chris :),

Weakness and light headedness are very common symptoms of fasting and the associated detox and should not in themselves be considered reason to curtail the fast early. If it was me, i would continue dry fasting until the thirst became moderate and persisting or slightly more than moderate and persisting if you are experienced and more familiar with the way your body responds. if heavy and persisting thirst was reached at some point before the 5 days, i would not recommend waiting too long trying to reach 5 full days. i base this advice on personal experience with waiting too long on 2 separate occasions and experiencing some weighty consequences, namely in one instance 16 days of nausea.

Best wishes,

Chris,

Great job in completing a few days of dry fast. You can ease in to water only fast from here own. Be careful in drinking water, though. Drink a sip at a time and do not guzzle down a lot of water. Dry fasts are very different from water only fast. I have done only a few dry fasts, it helped me when I ate totally raw foods prior to my fasts, it was harder when I had cooked foods daily before my fast. Listen to your body. You do have a hefty goal, take one day at a time.

Good luck.
