Which protocol to follow as a beginner?

Shall I start with a dry fast a month, and then go to 2 dry fast a month, then 3 and then 4 (weekly)? Or shall I start with one dry fast a month, and then 36, 48 and then 72? How do you guys actually dry fast?

Answer

Dr Filinov recommends this protocol for weight loss and general health.

Do a 24 hour dry fast twice per week with a day or two break in between. Fast 8am to 8am the next day. On your fasting day, try to walk 10k / 6miles as your low impact exercise.

Take care on your refeed, ie. when you break the fast. I recommend a high fat, low carb diet in between fasts. You should find what works for you.
