Sun, there was a person on this forum awhile ago, screen name Fonty, he dry fasted quite often. I think he did it almost as a way of life; dry fasting, then recovery, then a new dry fast, if I remember correctly. You may want to read some of his old posts, he was quite knowledgeable. I am not saying you were not in need of water, by all means drink it if you think you need it! What I do mean is, from reading on this forum over the past two years, I came to the understanding of just because my stomach was growling, did not mean I was actually hungry and thus needed food. I also thought in the past I needed to drink water constantly and Fonty disproved me of that idea as well. Again, I am not advising you or anyone else to not drink water if you feel you need it. Just saying to maybe give Fonty's posts some consideration. There is a wealth of information in his posts. Oh, and he taught martial arts classes while he was dry fasting too!
