If body creates water dry-fasting, how can dehydration or dying of thirst exist?

IF the body can produce water as \-metabollic water \-dehydration synthesis Then why does anybody ever get dehydrated or die of thirst? You would expect them to lose their fat first, then their muscle, and then die skeletally thin In theory, surely your body should simply break down some fat or protein to produce water. For that matter, surely if you are eating generally, you could choose never to drink liquid at all, and have your body synthesize all water for you out of your own fat - which might cause you to lose weight - without altering food diet at all.

Answer

It takes a certain condition for the body to make water out of fat. Generally, insulin levels have to be low. High insulin levels inhibit fat burning - and it’s the burning of fat that allows the creation of metabolic water.

Too many people don’t fast. They always eat or drink something throughout the day, so that the conditions that would allow for metabolic water to be made are not created.

For a while, I think Cole (snake diet guy) only ate bacon and cucumbers, and wouldn’t drink any water outside of that. I think he did it for a month.

Answer

The rate at which you produce water is proportional to your fat metabolism. The more fat adapted you are, the faster you’d synthesize water. Dehydration might simply be a case of the demand for water exceeding the supply, fat storages notwithstanding.

Slow fat metabolism might be why humans can’t exclusively survive on metabolic water like some desert animals can. Or maybe humans can and our metabolism just isn’t trained well enough (except me, I’m amazing).
