I’m on day 4 of my dry fast and while other people talk about feelings of euphoria, I feel horrible and so weak.
People talk about the skin benefits but I feel like I’m getting tiny pimples and my skin is getting worse.
On day 3 I even felt feverish.
Can someone please help explain this. I intend to do a 10 day dry fast.
I stopped my last DF yesterday after 112 hours due to nearly constant tiredness, extreme dry mouth, and especially because of brain fog, which was making doing my job nearly impossible, even as a desk jockey. You really need to do a longer dry fast when you have all the time in the world to rest without having to worry about work, family, and other obligations. Otherwise it’s very difficult to power through. I’ve read that the fever is your body fighting off possibly hidden issues that the fast exposes. So you shouldn’t worry about that as it will probably go away after a day or two. Your skin will clear up once you start refeeding. But be sure to avoid all carbs during your refeeding period as those will negate all of the benefits you got from the fast. And the refeeding period should last a minimum of the same length of the fast and probably twice as long before going back to your regular diet or attempting another fast. 7+ day dry fasts should only be done 1-2 times per year.
I felt the same on third day. Got 100 fever as well. I posted bout it on this sub, hope the comments help. https://www.reddit.com/r/Dryfasting/comments/xrn6l8/fever/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
