Should one Water 💧 Fast before starting a Prolonged Dry Fast.

Or is it not necessary? Planning on doing a 10 day dry fast. I’ve heard that you should prepare before a fast by eliminating any waste so that the body doesn’t use any of it. Any foods to eat leading...

Ugh this is annoying. Guess I'll just go for a longer fast as well as a smaller and healthier re-feed. Edit: just realized I spelled weigh wrong 🤣🤣
^^^ Does fasting help with weight loss differently than just calorie restriction and helping you eat in a calorie deficit?
I'm fasting for longevity purposes. I was seeing that mouse studies on fasting would not be correlated to IF or OMAD which is what I've been doing. They would be closer to a 3-5 day fast. I was further reading...

I am going to do a 3 day dry fast and I was thinking of going straight into a water fast after the 3rd day? Is it okay? Or should I do 3 day dry fast and eat for a...
Or vice versa? I think I read somewhere that it might be dangerous for the human body. So, if we start a dry fast, it should remain a dry fast until you end it. Or if it's a water...
About a month ago, I completed my first water fast, which was a week. I’d heard and read about the importance of easing your system back onto complex foods, but I also wanted to experiment with pushing how quickly I...

Is one more beneficial than the other?
Completed my longest fast to date! Started Friday after lunch, and ended today, Tuesday, at dinner time. Friday evening, Saturday, Sunday, and a Holiday Monday were a breeze! Home alone with no plans I was able to putter, then drink...
My assumption is a little bit of both but from what I read it may just be a way to stay in ketosis
I'm on my first dry fast now. I've previously done a number of water fasts. I have completed 48 hours dry so far. I am planning on getting water around the 60 hour mark. At that point I was thinking...
Maybe I'll switch my fasting day to Fasting Fridays but I'd prefer it to be Mondays and I can't think of a catchy name. Ideas?

What are the thoughts on sipping on a cup of bone broth while fasting? It contains 15g of protein but rich in electrolytes
I’ve not yet been successful fasting in the evening (breakfast and lunch have been easy to skip but evening feels impossible). Those of you who have figured out how to do this, what was helpful in your journey? Am open...

Ignoring that one may be easier than the other (all dependent on personal preference), is there a benefit to one slightly longer fast over 3 ‘medium’ fasts? (Or vice versa)
I was using Zero, but it got all buggy on me. So instead of just reinstalling it after uninstalling, I’d figure I would check out something new. Any tips?

Just checking is this normal? Has anyone experienced something similar. Sorry mean bowel movements
Can I dry fast even if I’m at a normal weight ? Also can I dry fast a day or 2 out of every week ?
Are you starting a new fast this week? We'll be posting this thread every Sunday, at the beginning of every calendar week, so you can check in and tell us about your plans for a fasting this week!
For those who have done both repeated dry and wet fasts, how does the level of focus that you experience on a dry fast (24 hours or longer) compare on an extended water fast? This poll is just about mental energy...
It's a punishment i gave to my own self. Such a health punishment to begin with, who know i might get those 7 pack Abs by the end. Lol

I do the random 3 to 5 day fast. But what i really want to do is eat every other day. If you have been doing something like this please share your experience.
Anyone have recommendations for the best / classic books recommending a fasting lifestyle from the last couple years? I’m looking to get back on track and looking for a good book to inspire me
I did a 72 last week and it helped me push through knowing other people were also fasting. Anyone want to join me on this one?
