Dry fasting means no food and no water. Yes, you heard that right. Where water fasting allows you to hydrate, a dry fast does not. People often think that you’ll die without drinking water for 3 days. It’s kind of like how people used to think the earth was the center of the solar system. In fact, there’s legitimate studies tracking people that have dry fasted for over 5 days, and many reports of people dry fasting for much, much longer. Dry fasting is 3x stronger and 3x faster than any other form of fasting when it comes to detoxification,health benefits, and even weightloss. But, by this same logic, it’s also 3x more dangerous. With great power comes great responsibility, so don’t be a dummy, learn to fast properly.
if you want to learn more about what dry fasting is, check out my video on what is dry fasting, i’ll put it in the description below.

3. The Obesity Advantage:
If you have a good amount of fat on you, you’re in a perfect position to dry fast. In fact, fat is highly recommended to be able to produce adequate levels of metabolic water during a dry fast. What is metabolic water? Well it’s the water that your body produces from the break down of nutrients like proteins and fats. Fats produce the most water as a by-product of creating fatty acids and ketones. Crazy right? Well, Most people are not aware that our bodies are actually able to create perfectly clean water inside of us! If you run out of fat you’re in big trouble!

4. Fat vs. Muscle Debate:
So you’re probably thinking ‘What proof is there that metabolic water exists and actually helps hydrate your body?’ There was a study performed on these birds called zebra finches. They had 3 groups. One was the control with food and water. The second only got water, so they were water fasting. And the third group had no food and no water, so they were dry fasting. At the end of the study they were able to measure the total body composition of the birds. The dry fasted birds were actually more hydrated than the water fasting birds. Isn’t that wild? The hypothesis behind these results is that the body holds on to electrolytes better and burns more fat during dry fasting which gives a hydrating boost to the body that you don’t get with water fasting.

6. Recognizing the Fat-Burning State:
What about, How do you know that you’re in a fat burning state on your dry fast? The easiest way to know is when your breath starts to smell a little different. Some people say it tastes sweeter, some people say it tastes a little more acetone-y. So that’s a very useful symptom to track. Another symptom to track is how you feel mentally. The first day or two you can really struggle with mental focus, you feel drained and tired, but then suddenly you feel great. This indicates your body has switched over to ketone use which means youre burning fat super fast. The “feeling-bad” stage, before you get to the superman stage is called the keto flu by many people. It’s a really tough barrier to break through for most, and its one of the main reasons people give up on their fast, but once you do break through, you start feeling on top of the world. The beauty of dry fasting is that you can get through this barrier much quicker than on a water fast.

8. Practical Tips and Recommendations:
Let’s talk a little bit about some practical tips and recommendations when you’re dry fasting for weightloss. So, It’s important to remember that even though we are wanting to create a dehydrated state in our body, because that’s where the magic of dry fasting happens, we still need to watch out and not over exert ourselves. Think of our water reserves like an underground aquifer or spring. As the water gets pumped out, there’s also a refresh rate of water coming in. If you over exert yourself too much, its the same as overpumping the stored water too quickly. The refresh rate can’t keep up. Our metabolic water, in this example, is the refresh rate. We have to let it keep us in a healthy, yet slightly dehydrated range. So don’t work out too hard on a dry fast, take it easy and choose low impact exercises like walking and yoga instead of hard work outs and running.
