I was planning to do a 5 Day Dry fast leading into the new year I have become unwell via a viral infection (Cold / Flu). Should I carry on with the Dry Fast or wait until I am 100% first?
I am aware of the benefits of dry fasting that’s the main reason I wanted to attempt 1 but I’m not sure what to do whilst I have a viral infection?
Any advice is much appreciated.
TIA
I suggest search this sub over the past few months. This has come up several times.
Short version is some research literature indicates do not fast during a viral outbreak, but good results after.
That said, some of the community have seen good results fasting during a cold/flu, though I recall a recent post where the virus came back after ending the fast.
Personally, I’d suggest a 24-hour DF, refeed with broth and see how your body reacts before going for a longer stretch.
If you do DF please share with a new post. This is a topic a lot of folks seem interested in.
