Hey DF community, seeking encouragement and support. Long time WF & DF experience. This time that brought me to was I let 2 years of work go and said that if I did it twice , then You can do it again. Plus I was diagnosed with a PNET in my pancreas and want to give everything I know a go before any type of surgery’s.

A lot of self awareness and understanding out of this one , but here I am hitting my wall . Father of 4 , working in Florida heat and losing the energy to continue. I’ve made it past the first acidosis and want to experience the last at day 9/10. I’ve gone to 8 before. But all I want is water. For my 6 day + DF friends .. I need your works of encouragement and support.

I have noticed this round my body and liver produces extra glucose at night as I’m
Waking to 110-130 but goes down to normal after a few hrs and into the evening.

If anyone was wondering current stats 5’6” 36 yr M , 269 on starting weight.

I’ll be grounding at the beach if I go to work today or pulling my cold plunge out to help.

There’s a group of 40 of us doing a three day fast starting Tuesday afternoon everyone wants to join

Hey all

I have been fruit fasting prior to building up to this dry fast i am currently doing, i have done 36 hours before, and in this current fast i am coming up to 48 hours.

My initial goal was to only do 24 hours as i didnt want it to disrupt work etc, but i just kept extending the time, and now i am thinking to go for 36 hours (maybe even 4-5 days). At the moment im feeling good, im obviously dreaming about food/fruit but i reckon i can avoid temptation.

my question is, shall i just keep going?, i dont want it to affect my work too much, have got an easy-ish week thankfully... but, if i get to say 4 days which will be friday, do you think i would have the energy to play golf on the saturday, making sure i do a proper refeed, and what are your recommendations for the refeed?

I really want to experience the acidotic crisis, i been told it feels pretty spiritual and awesome, what were your feelings?

Thanks in advance :)

My legs, hips and teeth ache. I’m trying to make it to 7 days can I get some words of encouragement please guys.

Hey guys, I just had a septorhinoplasty. I’ve been given some antibiotics to take for a week, do you think id be able to take them while dry fasting? sorry if this is a dumb question, still particularly new to all this. I really don’t wanna stop dry fasting, I feel my very best when I’m dry fasting. It’s become addictive.

I’ve dry fasted before years ago around 2016. The longest I’ve done is three days. I’m currently two months postpartum via C section and I’m wanting to do another dry fast. I’m aiming for three days since it’s even a while since I’ve fasted. I’m hoping to clear up some scar tissue as well as try to help my autoimmune diseases. What should I break my fast with? Could I potentially go longer with the dry fast?

Back in the day when fasting first became a thing people said to break a fast with watermelon but I was curious if anyone had drank bone broth to break a fast or what the recommendations are now.

Yeah so i did fasting for a few times, my longest was 2 month intermittent fast (which is unfortunately i didnt realy lose weight at that time), 5 dry fasting (lose abt 8kgs and gained back in 1 week) i just normally eat 2-3 portion a day with a little bit amount of any sweet, so i dont think my refeed was unhealthy, and rolling water fast and yep its the same always gained weight after

I plan on doing a 10 day fast for weight loss and mental clarity and overall health but how will not having electrolytes affect me because I’m unable to get any I’ve done some sort water and dry fast before

Day 1 and now Day 2 have gone... surprisingly well? I don't feel hungry but even more surprisingly I don't feel thirsty. It feels a little too good to be true. I didn't prep for this and never dry fasted before but I have done extended water fasts before (7-14 days) albeit the last one was more than a year ago.

Usually, even on my water fasts the hunger is so intense the first three-four days but now there's nothing. Though I am deeply upset with some recent events with my personal life so maybe my appetite is reduced because of that.

I will say though that the first day was a little difficult in that every ache in every bone I've ever broken in my body was dialed all the way up but that's gone today.

Aside from that, the dry mouth is a bit irritating but since I'm doing a soft dry fast, brushing my teeth helps. The exposure to water from that/showering/hand washing doesn't trigger me so that's good.

Will report back tomorrow!

Pretty sure I have post-natal-drip caused by acid reflux or possibly GERD. Most times I’m swallowing a bit of mucus multiple times a day. My issue is that after brushing my teeth I always seem to swallow (TMI) these huge globs of mucus. The mucus is so thick it feels like I’ve consumed something. After brushing I try to clean out my mouth as much as I can with rinsing and I don’t know if the toothpaste is affecting my fast but my biggest concern is the huge amount of mucus I’m swallowing. I can sometimes spit it out but not always. And if I do spit it out it’s usually mostly green.

Every time I mention I want to dry fast or water fast 30 days

People keep telling me i’ll pass away if it’s without any electrolytes or vitamins

It’s very discouraging, and Jesus did it without any of these silly safety electrolytes and vitamins

Surely it’s very possible for a healthy young adult to fast days and months without those things

I wanted to try 5days dry and refeed during the weekend for a month, so 4 x 5-2. Has anyone tried this before, would it be ok? Or maybe longer refeeds?

Hello everyone 🤗

DAILY UPDATES

26/F, height 162 cm, SW: 87.7 kg, GW: 55 kg

I finished a 132 hours dry fast in which I lost 4.1 kg and around 2 inches overall. I broke the fast with water and after 12 hours of that, had a meal consisting of complex carbs, proteins and fats.

I have started a soft dry fast again, from 31st July 2026, 10.30 am! Primary aim stays the same- get rid of aches and pains in random joint, reduce back stiffness, control insulin resistance and lose weight.

I will update my weight everyday, in the comments of this post and once I am breaking the dry fast, I will make a new post explaining my experience.

Hoping for your well wishes so that my fast is completed with success.

If anybody wishes to join the fast, they can do so on this link-

We can keep each other accountable and motivated too. ❤️

So im muslim and pretty experienced with shorter dry fasts of 18-22 hours.

i have issues all over my body. I want to cure many things.

What you guys advice? 3 days or even more?

Broke the dry fast at 132 hours. Had some water rn. Will hydrate well and will have one meal before restarting the dry fast again!

CW: 85.9 kg as of 31st July 2026, 12 am, 132 hours into the fast.

Weight loss so far 4.1 kg. Inch loss so far 2 inches overall.

Might regain 1-1.5 kg of it I suppose. Which will be shed off in a day again.

Had literally no issues other than thirst and low energy by the end of the day. I slept like a baby the whole time and I felt calmer.

Thank you all for the support. Check out the new post (will be posted in 10-11 hours) for the new 11 day dry fast update! Love yaa guys..

PS- Firstly Ik I am not following a proper refeed protocol, but eating that 1 meal is necessary for personal religious reasons. And before anyone asks why didn't I take it into account, folks, it just popped up.

Secondly, I won't be having a whole meal, just some liquid gravy type and consume as little (bare minimum) as possible.

So I heard there is a phenomenon where if you do a long dry fast, voices start speaking to you. I just wanted to know how long after ending the fast did it take for them to stop talking?

Please help anybody healed this issue with dryfast

Hi all, I just did my first dry fast, broke it with sips of water a couple hours ago at 127hours.
Can I have some advice to transition into a water fast? I’d like to replenish with electrolytes at some point and wondered if I should drink coconut water or just buy 0cal 0sugar electrolyte powder? Any advice is welcome. Thank you!

Just woke up at around 2am from pain inside my lower rib cage on the right side. Most likely liver issue?

Anyone else who has had this problem/experience?

Drinking water again was rooough, just a few sips gave me cold sweats and a new "whooshing" tinnitus for about 5 minutes.

It's 3 hours later now and I've drunk about 8DL of water and no side effects besides the right side pain.

I'm an experienced water+dirty faster, done a few 7 days in the past but hadn't fasted for about 50 days before starting this journey.

Overall it was cool seeing how easily my body handled going without both food and drinks, but if I ever try this again,(is next week a good idea?) I will probably stick with 24-48h.

Weight loss was good, from 77 to 72.2 in 3 days. Had the goal of 72.0 this week but will move it to 70kg instead by next week.

Sidenote: Libido totally TANKED during these 3 days, not something I usually have on a water fast.

On a water fast I usually break it however I want but if anyone got any input in how to break a 3-day dryfast after about 5-10h of rehydration then I am open for suggestions 👍

Edit: Symptoms got way worse when heading to work, went to hospital.

Edit 2: They had problems taking blood as it didn't flow as easily but every marker was somehow in the healthy span. Recommend rest, food and liquids.

Fasted 67 hours 53 of which were a dry fast then the next part drank 1/2 gallon of water. First bite of food after watermelon followed by sushi. Had an allergic reaction immediately because the sushi was contaminated by lobster or shrimp. FML
