How to Optimize Gut Health through Goblet Cells During Dry Fasting: Enhancing the Microbiome
Research Papers: https://www.dryfastingclub.com/studies/
Welcome to an exciting exploration of gut health and fasting, focusing on the lesser-known yet crucial goblet cells and their role during dry fasting. Goblet cells, nestled in our gut, are key to producing mucin, a protective mucus that not only safeguards our gut lining but also fosters a healthy environment for beneficial gut bacteria. In the fascinating process of dry fasting, these cells continue to support good bacteria, while the harmful ones struggle without their preferred nutrient, glucose. This selective process might help reset our gut flora, similar to how a liver flush rejuvenates liver function. Studies, like those on Ramadan fasting, show that such practices can significantly alter our gut microbiome, encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria, while also boosting bacterial diversity. This reshaping of our microbial landscape is akin to pruning an overgrown garden, allowing a more diverse and healthy ecosystem to thrive. Remember, our discussions about health are for educational purposes and should always be complemented with professional advice, especially when considering potent practices like dry fasting.

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.

Dry Fasting Stress Managing viral reactivations for Long Covid and others
https://www.dryfastingclub.com/dry-fasting-stress-manging-viral-reactivations-for-long-covid/
In the journey to understand and recover from advanced post-viral illnesses like Long Covid, a critical element is the phenomenon of viral reactivation, exacerbated by various stressors. Many postulate that the weakening of the immune system allows latent viruses, such as cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, and others, to reactivate, causing further health issues. Such reactivations can have severe systemic impacts, with the immune system overwhelmed, leading to symptoms from brain fog to mineral depletion, and sleep disturbances. Certain behaviors, such as exposing oneself to cold after a workout, may even trigger these reactivations. It's also believed that after extended fasting, while the immune system is undergoing a reset, individuals are particularly vulnerable to relapses if exposed to stress. Hence, during these crucial periods, it's essential to maintain a balanced environment, avoid extreme cold, refrain from rigorous exercise, and generally protect oneself from potential triggers. This holistic understanding and approach to management are seen as key to navigating and recovering from such challenging health scenarios.

Does Long Covid cause Tooth and Jaw Pain
Jaw and tooth pain, notably prevalent in severe Long COVID (LC), frequently emerges alongside profound symptoms like intense brain fog and chronic fatigue syndrome. This pain likely stems from various systemic disruptions: blood clotting issues and inflammation reduce blood flow to dental regions, potentially weakening them. Systemic effects of LC mean the immune system is spread thin, contending with widespread inflammation and damage. Nutritional imbalances, either from metabolic pathway disturbances or nutrient deficiencies, further complicate recovery. My personal experience, echoed by others, underscores the transformative power of dry fasting on dental health. This practice, possibly due to the hyperosmotic environment and potent autophagy, has not only counteracted the dental fragility of my LC days but has remarkably strengthened my teeth. The "Scorch Protocol" provides deeper insights into LC management, which I recommend exploring. Wishing you strength and progress on your healing path.

Do people actually fully recover from long covid?
The Scorch Protocol is Free. Access the latest via Google Docs.
Scorch Article: https://www.dryfastingclub.com/the-scorch-protocol-long-covid/
Full recovery from long covid is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. You have to take everyone's recovery story with a grain of salt. Most full recovery stories are from people who had light long covid. Even though a light LC is still hell for a lot of people, so they would yell at you for downplaying it. Even these people, when questioned further, admit that there's still something off. Reinfections and relapses need to be managed until we know more about the illness. So far, the only people I trust with recovery stories are those that incorporated hard core fasting into their protocols.

Long Covid Fasting Brandon Sutter Long Covid Relapse
https://www.dryfastingclub.com/dry-fasting-stress-manging-viral-reactivations-for-long-covid/
Brandon Sutter, a notable figure in the NHL, recently announced his retirement, a decision influenced by the challenges posed by long COVID. After missing the 2021-22 season due to the illness, Sutter attempted a comeback with the Edmonton Oilers but found himself in a battle against lingering symptoms. Although he showed signs of recovery, the profound impacts of the virus, including severe shortness of breath, likely played a pivotal role in his abrupt decision to retire. A member of the famed Sutter family legacy in the NHL, Brandon's early exit underscores the profound implications of long-term health issues in professional sports.

How much muscle will you lose on a dry fast? Q&A
So many people are concerned about muscle loss on a dry fast that these type of questions get asked pretty frequently. It's sort of a human condition to want to have it all, so that even when you are undergoing something as drastic as a dry fast for your health, you're still looking at ways to have your cake and eat it too. In this case people really worry about maintaining their gains. It's understandable, to a certain degree. I'll try to answer the questions as best as possible and guide you in a way that will allow you to make your own decisions on how much you will take muscle preservation into consideration during your next dry fast. However, I will ask one thing of you. Please remember why you are here, and that dry fasting is dangerous if done incorrectly and aggressively. Sometimes that means sitting back and letting the healing forces of your body do what they do best.
Does dry fasting lead to significant muscle loss?
When compared to water fasting, dry fasting loses much less muscle. During a water fast you can expect approximately a 50-50 split on muscle and fat loss. On a dry fast, you can expect something like 25-75 muscle and fat loss. That is a massive difference. Especially when you take into consideration that a dry fast takes much less time to achieve similar and better results than a much longer water fast. The simplified way of looking at it is that one day of dry fasting is equal to three days of water fasting. It's worth noting that the extent of muscle loss during a fast can be influenced by several factors, including the individual's starting body composition, the total duration of the fast, and any physical activity undertaken during the fast. Moreover, the body adapts to fasting by increasing its use of fat as a primary energy source, thereby sparing muscle protein

How Long can you safely Dry Fast? Q&A
What is the ideal time for a curative dry fast? No one knows. Some people claim that the longer you go, the more healing will be done. I argue that that may not always be the case. Yes, going longer usually means more autophagy or deconstruction, but at what cost to the rebuilding constructive phase? Can you go so far that you potentially damage benefits from the refeed and stem cells? In fact, the refeed is more important to healing than the fast in my opinion. Both are necessary, but it's actually the stem cells that rebuild that which has been damaged. So is there a limit to how far you should fast? Is it until you pass both acidotic crises? Personally, I think the ideal length that you can and should safely dry fast depends on the individual, their fasting muscle, their weight, their illness, and their goals. Nevertheless, I also believe that going over 9 days is not necessary, and frankly may cause more bad than good. I am a fan of fractional fasting, and I am a fan of refeeding correctly. In this chapter, I'll do my best to answer questions related to how long can you safely do a dry fast.
What is dry fasting?
The obligatory "What is dry fasting" introduction. This is for those new to it who have stumbled upon this article. Dry fasting is the abstinence of both food and water. Normally when people think of extreme fasting they think of people drinking water only and possibly adding things like electrolytes or black coffee and tea. When it comes to the dry version, removing all forms of food and water, and living on air alone is something that most people consider impossible. Yet dry fasters are alive and in most cases, thriving. In fact, most fasters who eventually try dry fasting, never look back. It's that good. Just make sure you know the ins and outs before attempting it. When you dry fast you accelerate autophagy to unimaginable levels. You also pull toxins out of cells at an increased rate. Water fasting on the other hand makes it so that your digestive system never takes a complete rest, and your cellular water never gets a deep clean. The most powerful aspect of a dry fast is the unique hormesis or "bodily stress" that occurs without water. This triggers a bounce-back response that increases stem cell production massively. Dry fasting is powerful, and with great power comes great responsibility. Dry fasting should not be performed until you have tried water fasting first, and should only be started with short dry fasts in the beginning. Now let's get back to the main topic of "How long can you safely dry fast?"

What I Learned after 300 Days of Dry Fasting
Things that I truly believe are critical and not well-known or are highly controversial and hotly debated.
Before I begin this article, I must preface by saying that the 300 days of dry fasting includes over 100 days of actual extended dry fasting and over 200 days of refeeding with various different experimental variations. I've done many non-counted 3-day dry fasts, 5-day, and 7-day ones, some 9 days, and even an 11-day one. You may have found this by searching topics like Who has dry fasted the longest or Longest dry fast ever recorded? While I may not claim to have dry fasted the longest, over 100 days of dry fasting puts me pretty high up there. Not to mention, the research behind it and the hundreds of hours of help I provide guiding other new fasters. What I've figured out is that you don't need to do long dry fasts of 7 or more days if you can dial it in with precision. Yes, if you have the discipline and willpower to go for longer, you can cut down some time. I talk about this a little more in the next article that I'm writing, but it has to do with chaperone-mediated autophagy days being the ones that should be counted. But if you prefer to focus on the magic 5 days, there are ways to merge this into your daily life and not have to take months off of work to go off on dry fasting retreats.
Caffeine Withdrawal is a dry fast killer
This is common sense, and I have been aware of it for a while, having added it to most protocols, however, I believe it's more than common sense, it's a requirement at this point. After so many fasts, the difference between being nearly fully withdrawn from caffeine vs just lightly tapered off is astronomical. One of your biggest battles on top of the keto flu transition will be caffeine withdrawal. Disregard this at your own risk. It more than doubles your success with a dry fast. If you read the Scorch Protocol for Long Covid, you will see strategies for the preparation period that help you go through caffeine withdrawal much easier.
The gist behind my strategy involves transitioning to steeping something like Yerba Mate instead of brewing coffee. Lightly steeped Yerba mate is still a tasty tea, while lightly brewed coffee is sometimes associated with dog piss (not my words). As you transition off yerba mate, you can still take raw cacao in a form like cacao paste, to keep up a small amount of caffeine and theobromine. Doing this makes sure that you are not tripling your agony during a dry fast, which, for most people means that they will exit it prematurely.

How do you break a dry fast properly?
Breaking a dry fast properly is the most important step. It is the first step of refeeding and sets the pace.
What is the recommended approach to breaking a dry fast safely?
When you are breaking a dry fast is it important to keep things simple. I like to consider simplicity along with science. Philosophy and also a paleolithic comparison of how a process can relate to our ancestors and evolution. What do you think the average man broke a dry fast with a thousand years ago? In this case, my recommendation is to break it with only water. The water should be of high quality, and that means high-quality spring water like Evian, San Benedetto, or something else you may have in your area. You want natural spring water that has been filtered by the earth, not ozonated or treated in any way. The first day of the refeed is explained in my Scorch Protocol: Healing Long Covid and Autoimmune diseases. It consists of breaking with water for at least 6 hours and drinking approximately 2L of water balanced and portioned throughout the window.
Some even recommend adding a pinch of natural salt or drinking coconut water to replenish electrolytes. Just like August Dunning recommends baking soda. I'll talk about this a little more under the electrolytes question.
If you can handle it, then doing a full day of water fasting is very powerful to bring your body back online, but I am also aware that many do not have the discipline to do a full day of water fasting after their already long dry fast. A day of water fasting is a nice way to extend autophagy for another 24 hours, but as long as you follow the 6-hour window, you will be safe. A lot of people ask me what to do if I break the fast near the evening, which would affect my feeding window. In this case, I highly recommend transitioning into a water fast overnight. Set an alarm to wake up to drink water once or twice in the middle of the night. When you wake up you'll be ready to go straight into the refeed. There are specific situations that may require slightly more precise adaptations, but that is on a case-by-case basis, and usually, if I am guiding the dry faster.

Hippocrates Quotes for Dry Fasting and Motivation
In the heart of Athens, amidst the scrolls of ancient knowledge, the renowned physician Hippocrates once proclaimed, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." This sentiment resonates profoundly with the ethos of Yannick Wolfe's Dry Fasting Club. Grounded in the time-honored wisdom of Hippocrates and nurtured by contemporary scientific research, the club embarks on a transformative journey, exploring the complexities of dry fasting—a practice that many believe harnesses the rejuvenating power of stem cells and offers unparalleled anti-aging benefits.
As the world becomes increasingly captivated by the concept of water fasting, dry fasting remains an enigma—a deeper layer of discipline, self-awareness, and physiological wonder.

The Nicotine Test - Long Covid Part 2
1. Introduction
I am currently undergoing a unique experiment to combat Long Covid using nicotine patches. This is part two of my ongoing journey where I've been closely monitoring my physical responses and making careful adjustments in my approach.
2. Methodology
The experiment started with me wearing a 5.25 mg nicotine patch for 48 hours, followed by an upgrade to a 7 mg patch for the next two to three days. I plan to round off the week with a two-day 10.5 mg patch. Concurrently, I also decided to incorporate Ivermectin and glutathione into the regimen to supplement the effects of nicotine.
3. Initial Findings
Right from the first day of the nicotine patch, I noticed an immediate surge in my energy levels. Remarkably, I found myself tackling my daily tasks more efficiently and even increased my exercise output. I attribute this improved motivation and energy boost to nicotine's dopaminergic effects and stimulant nature.
4. Side Effects
On the flip side, I experienced some allergy-like symptoms about 24 hours into the test, which felt as though my body was undergoing a detox. I also found myself waking up earlier than usual, though not groggy, and noticed an increase in the vividness of my dreams.
5. Use of Ivermectin
Ivermectin, which I took on the first day along with the nicotine patch, is known for its immunomodulatory effects. My personal experience was no different - the first 24 hours were fantastic. However, I did notice an increased histamine response the following day.
6. Role of Glutathione and Autophagy
Given Ivermectin's role in neutralizing the protein, I also started taking glutathione after the first 48 hours to aid degradation of dislodged proteins. Autophagy, induced by a fasting state or ketosis, is crucial in this context, as it helps degrade and eliminate unnecessary or dysfunctional cellular components.
7. Consideration of Fasting
While I haven't fasted during this nicotine experiment, it's something I'm considering for the future. I'm curious to learn how nicotine might affect the body during a fast and whether this could enhance the autophagic process.
8. Addressing Addiction Concerns
Some might worry about the addictive potential of nicotine. However, nicotine patches offer a slow-release mechanism, which blunts their addictive qualities. Moreover, I believe the detox

Intestinal Cleanse before Fasting Walkthrough step by step
An Intestinal Cleanse may be the most important part of an extended dry fast. Don't try to skip this if you're going for longer than 3 days. If you're going for a shorter fast, find my protocol for a short fast preparation to avoid the phase I/II crash. This intestinal cleanse also includes a liver cleanse. A simpler version of the liver cleanse is included in the preparation protocols.
A lot of my recommendations for this have to do with your age, dry fasting experience, health markers, and diet. There is no one-size-fits-all and that's why it is always advised to have a mentor for your first dry fasts. That being said, the dry fasting club is meant to provide you with all the information you need to do this yourself if you were so inclined. As always this is informational only and should not substitute medical advice.
Intestinal cleansing, as the name implies helps you in clearing out the digestive tract. This can be done in a few ways.
Increasing your gut motility by taking a laxative
Eating less and lighter foods with a lot of fiber
Using a prokinetic to increase your Migratory muscle complex
Hydrocolonotherapy - Enemas
Doing liver and gallbladder flushes
The idea behind these is to clear blockages and avoid having waste fermenting and causing absorption of toxins during an extended fast. That's why the simplest way is to do a laxative cleanse. This involves using a laxative like magnesium citrate or magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts). You can also use Filonov's regular table salt method and a few other ones. Some people like to do enemas, but I've realized most people do not. Some people swear by them, so if it's something you're interested in, you can look into it further.
The simplest version I use is called the Juice Prep Protocol and you can see it under the protocols section. However, a lot of extended fasters swear by liver flushing. It's no doubt that the liver is the body's most important filter. Doing liver and gallbladder flushes forced bile to be evacuated quite drastically and this can have a really good cleaning effect. Some people call the stones released gallbladder stones, while others claim that they are simply a byproduct of the oil mixture.
Whatever the true mechanism, I believe that the main benefit is the bile flush and that the stones don't mean very much. You should always start small when trying new things and test them out first to make sure you do not have any dangerous reactions to them. For example, you should test small amounts of Epsom salts first to see at what point they produce a laxative effect and how much you can tolerate.
A cleanse can lead to detoxification crises, with possible side effects like headaches, lack of energy, skin impurities, constipation, bad breath, and increased perspiration. However, individual reactions vary as everyone's body is unique. When cleansing the bowel, it's crucial to set aside ample time for the process, as it can take hours or days for effects to manifest. Ensure you are drinking water, and juices with very high mineral content to replace Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, and Calcium. Lucky for us, most of these fruits and vegetables have all the other trace minerals too. Look for beets, celery, cucumber, ginger, carrot, and apples. Adopt a light, easily digestible diet to minimize strain on the intestines, and engage in gentle forms of movement to support digestion.

IBS SIBO Fasting and the Migrating Motor Complex
#Sibo #fasting #ibs #migratingmotorcomplex
This episode is not meant to be a long one, but as I tried to keep it as short as possible, I kept adding a little here, and a little there. I wanted to touch on Epsom salts, SIBO - Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Fasting, and the migrating motor complex. Some people may not be aware but our body has this built-in mechanism called the Migrating Motor Complex that is only triggered when you are in a fasted state for around 4 hours. This mechanism has 4 phases and some people get theirs activated a little earlier, some a little later, and others very infrequently (Think IBS and SIBO sufferers). You need this migrating motor complex to keep your body functioning optimally. It's just one of many processes that need to function to keep your machine well-oiled. Once it starts to fall apart, you can expect lots of downstream problems as well. I believe that a lot of autoimmune diseases that affect the gut also affect the MMC and therefore fixing this is one of the keys to returning your health.
What is the Migrating Motor Complex?
Think of it like the cleaner in the small intestine. The main purpose is to clean the bacteria out of the small intestine. Moving them into the large intestine and eventually to the ileocecal valve and then the colon. The MMC only happens during fasting. This is very important. It is different from peristalsis. Peristalsis is what we imagine when we think about food being pushed through our bodies. Often both terms are used interchangeably. Peristalsis is more about mixing and slightly pushing down food. The MMC is what is actually the cleaner and pusher. Without it, you’re really going to struggle with cleaning the small intestine from bacterial overgrowth. Think of it like washing the dishes after a meal. It’s called the digestive system house cleaner wave for a reason.
Once again, this only occurs when we are fasting. Peristalsis is occurring at all times. So think of the MMC as the big kahuna, whereas peristalsis is the ongoing small pulse of motility kind of like an energizer bunny. This is so important to consider because it provides further proof that we are not meant to be a constantly snacking species. Fasting is so important. Eating turns off the Migrating motor complex. The exact amount of food is still unknown as everyone is different.
How to improve the MMC for SIBO AND IBS?
FASTING BETWEEN MEALS
Explained in detail in this post.
ACTIVATE THE VAGUS NERVE
PROKINETIC SUPPORT
TOLERANCE OF HIGH FODMAP PRODUCTS
FIXING YOUR DIURNAL RHYTHM
Finally, Why you should be fasting for IBS and SIBO?
Nothing applies to everybody, that’s definitely a solid rule to keep in mind. Getting this out of the way, you already fast for 7-8 hours when you sleep, so stop being so scared of it. The Migrating muscle complex gets activated with a 4-hour fast. So let’s get to it. You are already a bit of a faster, since you fast while you sleep. Start with waiting for breakfast for an hour or two extra, don’t eat a few hours before bed and there you have it, you’ve started your fasting and healing journey. The benefits of fasting are fantastic. Once you start healing your migrating motor complex, your gut, and your digestive system, you will start to realize that fasting was always there for you, you just didn’t know it. If you have IBS or SIBO and you have never tried to fast, I am trying to convince you that this is the time to try it. You know that when you don’t eat, so probably in the morning, you feel your best. Extend that feeling. Let your body guide you. Another thing to consider with fasting is that your fat cells have all the nutrients and vitamins you need. Work on replenishing your fat cells during your refeeds with good healthy foods, and you will exponentially feel better on future fasts as well. Once you are comfortable with intermittent fasting you can work your way up to your first 24 hours fast and longer. This will introduce you to a new world where you can start to wave goodbye to both SIBO and IBS.

What is vaccine injury when it comes to covid long-haul?
What is your take on v injury?
I think it damages metabolic pathways for some people, specifically with certain deficiencies. It's very similar to regular covid longhaulers, except it can be more concentrated in certain areas which is the result of elevated and sustained spike protein manufacturing and distribution. Everyone is slightly different so your body may concentrate it in different areas. It also depends on the temperature storage of your vial, and dosage strength, which has been shown to sometimes vary from pharmacy to pharmacy and batch to batch.

LONG COVID FASTING HORMESIS AUTOPHAGY
I probably get asked the same questions every single day, multiple times. What healed your long covid? I reply with fasting. They say: According to your username, im guessing it’s dry fasting.
That’s not the best segway into persuading someone that fasting is the key to healing their long covid. Do you think I’m not aware of how scary fasting can be to a total newbie? Thank god intermittent fasting is now finally mainstream. Can you imagine how hard the conversation would have been 10 years ago when I was looked at like a lunatic for water fasting?
The point is that the key to healing almost ALL of your current illnesses is a combination of activating epigenetics, sirtuins, stem cells, and autophagy.
Sounds simple enough, but its much more difficult in practice. It requires something called hormesis. It means STRESSORS. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. That needs to become your mantra, embrace it.
Yes, once you get past that barrier you need to understand how to target your deficiencies, how to stress your body enough to trigger healing, and how to ramp up exercise. But it’s all do-able. I want to finish on what I tell people daily. Yes, water fasting can work, but dry fasting is the speed run. It all depends on how much time you want to give yourself. Years or months?

How much fat do you need to fast #fasting #weight
Weight Gain and Weight Loss during a dry fast
There are a lot of theories here, and different people approach it differently. No matter what, it's a common worry for most dry fasters. Especially early on in your dry fasting journey. If you have a hard time gaining weight, or you are starting from low weight, it's understandable that you will be worried. My best advice is to try to gain some weight, this may require going back to nature and drinking a lot more raw milk. Nature's baby fattening formula. Once you start becoming much more comfortable with fasting, as well as building your fasting muscle, the body will be able to adapt once you drop to low-fat levels. You'll notice it goes into conservation mode more efficiently, and you'll lose fewer lbs per day. This means you have to make sure you also drop your daily exercise and movement accordingly. Fat catabolism is what fuels your metabolic water. Fat also stores minerals and energy.
