Started this dry fast 3 days ago with the intentions of it healing parts of my skin. I’ve always had flaky or red dry skin in parts that never go away despite always trying something new. I had some inflammation I want to reduce. Dry fasting has given me incredible results for my skin cleansing, and mental clearness in the past. Aiming for a total reset this go around.

I’ve water fasted thousands of hours prior to dry fasting, it’s part of my life now, and when I’m not doing that I eat one meal a day closer to bedtime. I don’t believe in breakfast anymore, or engulfing calories throughout the day (unless around my gf), it’s always a social interaction to eat something. Dry hands down is the easiest for me. I get zero hungry pangs, and no thirst for water.

Day 1: I was coming off some bad carbs, so the carb mental towards the 20-23Hr mark were loud. Day 1s are significantly easier for me dry compared to water.

Day 2: I was able to find distraction to make the day go by quicker. I tend to try and keep my mind occupied on the first few days and go to bed earlier, because they’re the hardest.

Day 3: This day is when all food noise seize, snack, sugar completely dead. That isn’t the battle anymore, the battle is now nausea, keto breath and burping, which is from your body releasing trapped gas. I don’t get dizziness when I dry fast like I do when I water fast. I am still careful to not stand up too fast, and exert my energy wisely.

I expect Day 4 to be easier than 3, realization setting in that is it what it is, ride the wave even though it’s boring. Perhaps a bowel movement this day? Ive been feeling my body trying to come up with more liquids to pass what feels like a number two, so that’s cool!
