I’m shooting for 4 days. Obviously I’ll be careful since it’s hot out, but after completing a 7 day water fast, an extended dry fast seems like the next challenge for me. Historically I’ve never been able to go beyond 48 hours without wimping out. This time I’m motivated to push myself
7 days hard dry - last 2 days were brutal, no sleep, severe weakness and constantly fantasizing about water. If it hadn’t been for a rainy night on day 6, I probably wouldn’t have pulled through. Was absolutely worth it in the end, never felt so light before in my life, not just physically, emotional baggage I wasn’t consciously aware of lifted off me with every exhale that night, breath work and meditation felt insanely deep, nourishing and cleansing. Feelings of oneness and an overwhelming calmness made me cry tears of joy when the sun came up. I’ve not been particularly spiritual before the fast, but now I firmly believe there is a universal consciousness connecting everything in the universe. IBS, restless legs, high blood pressure, insomnia and brain fog got replaced with an immensely positive outlook on life during the 3-4 weeks of carnivore refeed after. Nowadays I stick with ~3 days soft dry once every 2 months to maintain, I never went past 5 days again.
Always listen to your body it carries unlimited wisdom if you’re willing to listen thoroughly, all the best on your fasting journey
165 hours ~ 7 days soft dry fast. like what other users have said reaching 7 days is a major reset into everything. since then now practice a modified hard dry fasting where only contact with water is hand washing or shower; the insights are much deeper and buteyko nose breathing unlocked more healing
