Im sorry I totally missed your comment. No this is my first time fasting and it is going well for me. I feel great! But I cannot lie the first 3 days are brutal! Then its gets easier and food isnt do appealing anymore. How are you doing with your fast.

Dry fasting is the most powerful procedure possible and also the most difficult.Dehydration after a point causes damage to the body. But if it is done after you have shut down the digestive system by water fasting first, the point of dehydration may be over a week. There is no scientific research on dry fasting and if anyone can post it I sure would be interested.

I was just about to ask you how long you recommend a dry fast. Today is day 3 of my dry fast and I plan on sticking to it until Saturday. Do you think that I should go past 6 days or do do not go past three. I have lost five pounds since Sunday and I like the results, that’s why I am going the full six days. But what do I do to break the fast?

I am doing the dry fast to lose weight even though I met my goal because I want to have six pack abs. I calculated my BMI and it says that my BMI is 24.5 which puts me in the normal rang of 19 to 24.9. I am only .5 from being overweight so I want to increase the gap between a normal BMI and an over weight BMI. You don’t have to worry about me Jess I will be just fine.

Slow weight loss is due to a slow metabolism. Fasting helps to heal a slow metabolism by revitalizing the glands. This is a lifelong process of living. I life time journey of health. When you do return to eating it is important to exercise regularly. Also a thyroid test never hurts if you are also lethargic and low in energy.

Ohh boy you have me worried..what is the reason for doing the dry fast? How close are you to your goal weight?

You are correct I did go down the next day when I got up..but that was really disappointing sacrificing and then had no results! But it came down…so far I have been losing about a lb a day. I hope this keeps continuing. I had planned on a 20 day fast Im on day 8 I may go to 25 or 30 depending on how I feel.

Jess it’s okay that you didn’t lose any weight. Do not get discouraged! Just stick to it and the results will come. I was tired of not getting results so I said that I will go on a dry fast! Today is day 2 of my dry fast and I plan on sticking to it until Sunday so that I can prepare my body for the food that I am going to be taking in on Wednesday the 14th. I will give myself a five break and then start back up on my dry fast which I will try to do for 18 days which is three times as long as this dry fast, but there are no guarantees for my dry fast of 18 days because I have heard that you can get very sick if you do it for too long but I will do my best to last as long as I can.

How are things going for ya?

Im home from my trip and proud to say I didnt cheat…no alcohol or food. But I am really disappointed i got home and weighed myslef and I wasnt down I was the same…that sucked….I felt like I sacrificed for nothing. I hope that when I get up tomorrow it will be a different story.

Hope things are well with you
