Yeah, half the internet screams at you, that you will die after 3 days without water. It's nonsense.

Maybe if you're an infant, a small child or spend all your days in the desert or under the hot summer sun all day, then yes you might die...but in most cases you will be fine as long as you stay at home and take it easy. How do I know this ? Cause I went 5 days and 5 nights straight with ZERO food AND ZERO water last year. Yes, no liquids for 5 days.

Do you recommend including sun-gazing in the process?

No.
Do not mix sun gazing with fasting unless you are very experienced in both.

In fact, if you are a beginner in fasting of 2 days of more straight, you should avoid most other activities and stay at home and be supervised most of the day (and always have immediate access to food and water if you need to stop your fast).

Many people who don't know anything about fasting think that they have to eat three times a day -- and if they miss a meal they may get a heart attack and die.

When I tell them I have done 10 fasts with relative ease, their mind stretches out to beyond disbelief and its like their brain is about to shut down bc they simply cannot comprehend one can go without food for even a few hours.

Now I am saying that doing 21 - 30 day fasts with water are the norm that one must do (and many have already done) to get good results and many on this forum are having a hard to time even comprehend if that is even possible. When not only is it possible, it is the norm. Nothing special about doing a 21 - 30 day fast.

A big congratulations on your achievements... but Damn you're going a bit hard on us Non-Fasteners. What you've stated would be the equivalent of Zukerberg & Bill Gates chillin saying how easy it is to make Billions. 30 days fasts Conveys your excellence Yes... but doesn't really convinces Us to join the Fasting movement at all! Too extreme off the Bat!

What are some of these "many benefits"?

I had a previous blood test with results done some months back -- so I knew where I stood. The post fast blood test results showed huge improvements. So fasting is indeed a direct way to improve one's inner health in a short time. The slow way of trying to improve inner health does not work well bc one bad day of eating can mean you have to start over again from the beginning. The rapid method by fasting is most effective.

Did your experiment have a control group?

Water fasting = Drinking only water and zero food.

Dry fasting = Zero water and zero food.

My advice:
If you're going to try it, have a friend/relative/girlfiend with you during the fasting to make sure you don't faint when getting up from a sitting or lying position. That's the biggest danger when doing serious fasting...hitting your head by fainting when you get up too fast. Get up as slowly as possible.

Btw, in my three 10 day fasts so far, the first two days were dry meaning no water -- but I started taking water on the third day. I think dry fasts can be quite beneficial -- but not more than two days. If you go more you need to take more precautions. I think three days should be the limit for most though.

There is no evidence for this whatsoever. There is no benefit to not ingesting fluids.

Guys please do not fuck yourselves up. Broscience is fine when it's harmless like "take cold showers", but not when talking about vital, basic needs.

No one here should be telling guys "dry fasts" are fine or "quite beneficial". I don't care if you supposedly did it for X days, it's retarded, dangerous, with no benefit. If you want to believe shit and advocate for it and kill people via a personal blog then do that, but it shouldn't be spread on a forum where guys are looking for real, factual, healthy advice.

I see 0 benefits for not consuming any water aside from trying to lose water weight which is only useful in certain situations and it's only a temporary change. It's the lazy mans way to try to make weight for a weigh in, and the loss of energy and thought processing capability are not worth the time spent not consuming water.

Actually, there is one other benefit if you look at it sideways. The desire for water far outweighs the desire for food, so if you are trying to stay on a fast come day 2 you won't even think of food.

You are not fucking yourself up if you fast to cut
Assuming you want to lose 10 kilos (22lbs) What do you think is going to be easier for your body:
-slowly fucking up your metabolism because you under eat for months (this is starvation by the way)
-Doing a 2 week water fast
I've done both and trust me I'd rather fast
Fasting is truly scary for most people and this is why they make jokes about it or tell you you're gonna die yet they have never experienced it.

Muscle loss is a meme normie fitness bros push to comfort themselves from the thought of hard cutting. You won't lose shit unless it's a legit months long sub-500 cal 0 protein concentration camp diet.

There is some science indicating fasting promotes longevity, but it's not definite.

If you decide to go this route, do it under medical supervision.

Even if it does, who would want to live longer hungry?

Come on now.

Why do the "secret insider health knowledge guys" always avoid answering my simple questions?

So much bro science and studies being thrown around.

For the guys who do the fasting, what were your stats before and after. I've noticed you guys saying you've done it, to what goals and results?

Did these results last after or did you go back to your previous stats?


Also, this "detox" bullshit - your fucking body does that already.
