how to stay strong when you're thirsty?

34 hours into a 3 day fast. i am sooo thirsty. i haven’t been hungry at all though so that part is relatively easy. i feel tempted to down a gallon of water right now. how do you guys make it through? i just became thirsty not too long ago. probably about 10-20 mins ago. it’s sudden, but i do feel super thirsty right now.

Answer

Don’t think about water and food, don’t research them online, don’t go to shops, don’t open fridge, don’t touch them. Whenever there’s a thought about water/food, become aware of it and move attention to what you’re doing. Fantasizing about water/food is not allowed. Accept lower efficiency, bad mood.

Answer

Have not experienced it with the 3 days fasts I have done. Do you usually have a lot of refined carbs in your diet? It may make it harder, I suppose. Also could be candida. This may not be a mental game for now (eventually it turns into one though, you will get into a flow state of you allow your cravings to pass for sure).

Usually one tolerates dry fasts much better than a water fast.
