Re: Dry fasting followed by water fast.

Hi eggcream,

I was dying of thirst on Thursday (day 4) and broke down and drank less than a quart of water throughout the day. I opted for Fiji water today, as someone suggested it would be a good one to rehydrate a little. Friday (today) I drank some water this morning, but will attempt to go the remainder of the day w/out water.

Every time I drank water on Thursday, it gave me some indigestion; which I'm sure is due to the digestive system kicking in to process the water and is totally normal and fine. In between drinking water times I felt fine.

For Saturday and Sunday I plan to rehydrate a little so I can go dry again Monday through Friday of next week. Unlike eating, drinking off and on will not bounce your system in and out of ketosis; which is probably very bad for the body. I'm trying to maximize my 40 day fast by giving the body as much down time as possible.

I too was having some cold times. Although, Thursday when I drank water I was hot. Even this morning I was hot, both before and after I drank some water. Whether that's due to the early stage of my long fast, where the body is going into high gear of ketosis, or my dry fast, I'm not sure. Tweet
