Today I just let go after my crazy workout and drank seltzer water. Honestly it felt really good to take a break from monitoring my water intake. I will work on this balance! Tomorrow I will start again. I was wondering if you all take breaks??
If you dry fast and break the fast by drinking water, it’s ok to continue water fasting.
It is not ok to go back or forward into dry fasting from a water fast – it is quite quite hard on the body and damaging to your fast and your body. The Russian schools repeatedly warn of this and I’ve had person experience of it – not good, not fun.
It’s better and far more healthier for the body if you continue with your water fast and then break your water fast by refeeding into a recovery diet, AND THEN at some point in the future you can go start another dry fast.
Different context/fasting schedule but I’m wondering the same thing myself about breaks. I just broke a 5 day dry fast with 2 small glasses of San Pellegrino. Feeling disappointed that I didn’t last and wondering whether to get straight back on the horse now or properly hydrate for a few days then go again…
