Fastingguy33,

There is no reason to be concerned about dehydration on a water-only-fast.

WATER DRINKING DURING THE FAST.
"The fact is that there is neither need for so much water, nor benefit from taking it. Drinking water as a mere matter of routine is not advisable. One may rely upon the instinct of thirst to tell him when he should drink and how much. Drink when thirsty. Do not drink when not thirsty".

"When food is not taken the need for water is lessened and there is a corresponding lessening of thirst".

"Screwing up your metabolism" by going beyond 20 days is just not accurate or true either.................

"Metabolism is lowered from one-fourth to two-fifths during the fast. This falls quite rapidly during the first part of the fast until the true physiological minimum for metabolism is reached. From this point on, until the return of hunger, metabolism is maintained at a fairly uniform level."

Your metabolism, is lowered during a fast as a conservation-measure in preserving food-reserves for as long as possible, and where much benefit is derived to the endocrine system generally, so there is no such thing as "screwing-up" your metabolism unless you enter the "starvation phase" (at least 40 days plus) and then destructive pathology takes over. This occurs only AFTER the return of genuine hunger.

I hope that has been of some help.
