[QUOTE="TheMost, post: 1274201, member: 10032"] Perhaps start with a one day dry fast, and work your way up one day at a time. Just broke my second 3 day dry fast this morning. Felt great. Dry mouth in the morning didn't feel good, but it went away during the day, I was able to speak and sing without problem. The thing about metabolic water really is true. Also, 9 pounds of weight loss each time. Second time I didn't take anything; the first time I took electrolytes in the form of salt, borax and epsom salts. I did water fasting years ago. Didn't have any headaches or dizziness with the dry fasting. In fact, I felt great. Dry fasting sounds scary, especially because of the fake news about dehydration. But it is easier than wet fasting, and the results are much faster. If I do it again, I think I'll take electrolytes again, but only in dry form. My recipe for one days worth is: 1 gram of sodium tetraborate (borax) 2 grams kosher salt (it has no stabilizers or other chemicals added) 3 grams ascorbic acid (citric acid if ascorbic isn't available) 3 grams magnesium sulfate (food grade epsom salts) The vitamin C (ascorbic acid) powder is to neutralize the saltiness and hide the bad magnesium taste. Regular table salt has a surprising number and amount of non-salt ingredients added; ingredients I do NOT want to put in my body. If you have it, add 2 grams of potassium citrate to the mix also. Blend the ingredients all together, and take a pinch now and then throughout the day. If your mouth is dry, this will instantly moisten it. But dry mouth wasn't nearly the problem I thought it would be. Broke through a fat loss plateau that had been holding me up for 3 months. [/QUOTE]
