[QUOTE="forestdweller, post: 1274199, member: 16855"] I'm curious about dry fasting also. I'm not convinced the same principles apply with water as most basic functions of the body require it.. I'm no doctor however so who knows. I'm having a very hard time getting my dad to do fasting. He's 260 with my frame (I'm 170 in good shape) yet he contests that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day, this (fasting) sounds like a dangerous diet". The cognitive dissonance is astounding which is a shame because I care for him and know it would extend his lifespan and wellbeing. I told him it's a part of Christianity and he said "they didn't have costco back then though", which I thought was funny. He overeats to numb the pain he carries from childhood trauma that he doesn't know I know about. It's a tough spot, if someone has some insight please reply or PM. Thanks and good luck fasting! Works well for me, so much time saved. Time for God worship instead of bong worship.. EDIT: He does whatever his pillpushing doctor says, so maybe I'll send him one of those Dr. Axe or Dr. Berg videos.. [/QUOTE]
