Does dry salt loading dampen the effects of straight dry fasting?
Just finished a 108 hr (sunday night to friday morning) fast, with a 48 dry and a 24 dry to bookend that.
While i was dry, i kept considering dry salt loading, but wasn’t sure if this could slow the weight cut…
From my understanding:
- Dry fasting is effective because as the body goes for metabolic water in fat cells, it feeds on electrolytes in those cells
- so Dry salt loading should slow down that process? Or does staying salty (ABS) make you release all the water (piss)?
For anyone curious:
Current progress:
- Sw: 198lbs. 2 week of cutting (dry and snake juice / almost daily walking 1hr and high intensity/low volume lifting).
- Cw: 185lbs (did some social eating on weekends)
- Goal: 2 more weeks of cutting after some social eating tomorrow. Trying to get to 170-175lbs, but don’t want to look flat at the end of cuttting, so will cap it off with a moderate-carb morning refeed and high-intensity lifting day.
