Intermittent Dry fasting during water fast : continued. I would be interested in any perspectives of theory and actual experience. I have completed up to 30 days in water fasting and have fasted almost annually from the age of 19 to now 41. Over my last 20 day water only fast last spring I began to study dry fasting. I had amazing success the last 10 days - probably 3 times more than my first ten in fat loss and detoxification. I am entering into another cycle this time and appreciate feedback. I have spent many days over the last year doing 18-24 hour dry fasting coupled wit ...

In 8 hours I will be officially done with half of my 34 day water fast. Of course this is not set in stone - but that was the original goal, which I see no reason not to be achieved at this time. All is good. I have been coaching football almost everyday and end up running a bit during those which is fine. I try to keep it minimal. Weekends are the hardest as visitors come over and eat and drink at my home. This is the hardest to sit through because I want to partake. I am not hungry and normal meals throughout the week do not bother me. I am still playing with dry fasting fo ...

How many people do I meet who are willing to go to the gym every day and do different forms of training. Of these how many are willing to spend their money on high quality minerals and supplements. Of course these things are good. The moment the idea of fasting, even intermittently, for most people is a simple no. It is not popular. It is not understood, in fact the art of fasting is very misunderstood. We have all had habits or ”addictions” of different kind that we have either changed or kept. Some of these are beneficial while others are destructive. Rarely does the averag ...

I wanted to share a few other thoughts. Most of us who wanted to enter ketosis at one point just sat and waited for the days to pass until we began the process. Then people began to learn they can go into the process not being full of glycogen and move around a lot to get there quickly. I could sit on my butt and not move for 24 hours and possible experience very little thirst. Isn’t the goal of dry fasting minor to extreme dehydration after all? Why not sauna? I do not understand but am willing to learn how this does not expedite the process. See, I would rather run up a short ...

I am on day 15 of my fast and for the last week have limited water intake. Rather than constantly drinking to thirst, what I have been doing is attempting 12-18 hours from sleep until the middle of the day to dry fast. I am having trouble finding the benefits and science of a short term dry fast intermixed with a water fast. I can objectively say my weight loss is more rapid. It also seems like the major detoxing effect occurs just after hydration, not during the dry fast. It is almost like whatever was burned during that time is being flushed by the water. I have absolutely no p ...

I have officially passed the two week mark. Though I am proud of the accomplishment I am learning a good amount in this fast and am really enjoying the process. I have noticed more than ever the need and benefit of good skin brushing once a day at minimum while deflating so quickly. Most of all I am interested in dry fasting. My weight fluctuates from 184.0 at the lowest to about 189.0 depending on my hydration and I am really playing around with this to learn more about the topic and experience possibility. Today I experienced perhaps the most exciting and awesome physical thing ...

Every 2 days or I add 1-2g or himalayan sea salt (mainly for sodium), either Ionic Fulvic minerals Or vitamineral greens (2 full tbsp). Optional - silicia In this solution and all my water I add one spray of magnesium chloride and a small pinch of baking soda. Personally I add cayenne drops and lemon juice but this is for other reasons. My recommendation is to learn how to make your water as similar in ph, alkaliods, and electricity to pure spring water. I do not think you always need to mix all the minerals as for me every 2 days is enough. Try and drink no more water than ...

At this point the fast has settled in and it is fairly routine. When I have friends come over (like this weekend), it is hard to stay up late with them and be much more than an object taking up air and space. Every two days I have been re-mineralizing. Here is what I do on these mornings. *I TBSP coconut oil. (for absorption of minerals) *2 TBSP Vitamineral greens *5 sprays magnesium chloride *1.5-2g himalayan sea salt (for sodium mainly) *5-10 drop biosil (for silica) I also take in this drink *Vitamin C and D *Wormwood, Milk thistle, garlic ------------------------ ...

Dry fasting is exciting to me. As curious as I am, I am only comfortable in dipping into the shallows of the practice at this point. Between research and personal experience, I am far to limited to speak on the subject with the experience of someone who is more experienced. I mentioned previously that in see no value in de-mineralization at any time, especially fasting. I also believe a beginning faster usually does not know how to properly re-mineralize. This can take a bit of study and self experimenting. The bottom line is the purified stripped water we drink continues to de-min ...

Have you been looked over Even when you have fallen Lost through miles of blind streets Not knowing if you would return again Do you know the edges of despair Where only a small hole in the road rested And while you sat you wondered If this road has led to a cold grave Have you ever asked for help In the deepest echoes of night Where not one sun could be seen And the wind spoke only cold whispers Amen for we were found I know this place well my friend And the rising of one Is the rising of all Amen as we become the risen And the risers   [End]

It is day 7 and my routine is becoming normal again. I wake up early, usually around 3am. Today I was able to sleep in and get up at 4:45am. Then I go to starbucks armed with everything I need to get in as many hours of possible of thing things I need to do for work as well as the things I love to do. So here I sit again. By the end of the day I begin to tire. I do not allow myself to nap as that makes my sleep cycle much less stable which I do not prefer. I wish to keep my early rising at the cost. I tried blogging last night and noticed distinctly the feeling of my spiritual ...

Hey FastGuru - yes those statements are correct. To clarify - we never reach real ketosis obviously unless we are not able to properly convert proteins to glycogen properly which is a life threatening state. I was being lazy using the word ”ketosis” as it is easy for most people to understand. Here is a highly unresearched topic that I believe will someday be on the frontier of understanding in many areas including health and elite endurance athletes. The best way to teach our bodies how to burn higher percent of fat stores versus glycogen in day to day movement is by training fastin ...

I have experienced all types of fasting now for 23 years and continue to learn. As a self proclaimed ”thinker” that entitles me to nothing other than the expectation to be just that. Anyone who is open minded and willing to knock on hard stone doors until their knuckles become raw just to make sure no one is home I would consider the same. We can be stubborn in our pursuit but love being flexible in our thoughts. Just when I think one thing, I am happy to modify it and add another. There is only one thing I am absolutely certain of, yet that has nothing to do with a reality than can ...

After my last post I felt the desire to talk about something that has helped me greatly in the past and something that will make or break me in this fast. We are used to moving outside to get things. We are used to action and results. Close our eyes for a moment and imagine everything outside that we want. The images of cars, time with our children, a hot dog... whatever they may be. They are out there. Fasting trains the mind whether someone wishes this to be trained or not. It takes away one of the most primary fundamental outlets of what our consciousness attunes to throughou ...

*Note I am posting my journal from the last few days. Fast April 2015. 3/30/15 Monday – Day 4 I am on day 4 of a 34 day water fast. I like to break it into “chunks” of time to make the fast a little more maneagable in terms of goals, so I have divided every day into 4 x 6 hour blocks, meaning there are 4 chunks in a day. I have completed a 28 day water fast and multiple 21 day water fasts over the years (about 6). Now I set a record in both days and hopefully in my quest to optimum health. Today is March 30th, the second to last day of the month before I begin to go throug ...

I thought of a few possible titles. Nothing other than an old Cult song, and one of my favorites from the 8th grade, “Electric Ocean”, was dusted off from the upstairs memory banks. I will summarize what this place is to me for no reason other than I enjoy the topic. It would not have, or would need, an official title. To say it is an actual place would be highly contested amongst many, but contending it is a place to one will likely be found acceptable. It can be a state found in dreams as equally it can be reached during what we refer to as awake. It is alive and can be seen ...

Yes the amazing thing about the emotional healing / spiritual alignment etc. is almost how naturally it comes in this state. That is the primary reason I do it while the physical benefits are in line with the same purpose. So the way I use baking soda / Himalayan salt enema is to help break up the crust in the gut. It just speeds the process. I use one TBSP of each and the goal is not to see how long I can hold it but eliminate another layer of plaque each morning. It would come out naturally, this just speeds it up. Then I go to the coffee enema. I used to follow Bernard Jenki ...

From my experience the sauna is fine but you are going to have to take additional sodium and electrolyte minerals. I think I said this but from my experience I do not think de-mineralization is good at any point for any purpose but am willing to be wrong. I just am willing to overindulge minerals ESPECIALLY when fasting :) For me the benefit of a sauna is total ounces being sweated out not how much pain I experience in one sitting lol. So... I tend to stay in for about 4x5-7 minute sessions with a shower rinse / pool inbetween. Once my pores are opened up I immediately keep sweati ...

re: any symptoms. How often have I spoken too soon while fasting lol!!! I was good when I replied yesterday morning but then BAM. Mucous all day, tired...

Nice and I like all those things a lot. I used to be so strict on just water but over time realized detoxification is a scale, and on a water fast there are variables that can greatly expedite and assist me. What I do for hunger is use seltzer water and mix it with lemon and Dr Christopher’s super hot cayenne (only one - 3 drops are needed). I also take a liquid Ionic Fulvic mineral suppliment or Vitamineral Green to make sure I have all the minerals when needed. I use some ACV but figure since I am in major detox zone I add 2 other things. I do about 1TBSP baking soda enema a d ...

The good thing is if you have fasted for that long you know what it takes and how hard it is. You also know you can do it again. Fasting is like a muscle and you are only going to need to retrain it with intermittent fasting, etc until you feel strong enough again to do a long one. This should happen fast as your insulin is most likely not too far off based on doing that only 1.5 years ago.   [End]

I have made the electrolyte mistake as well. I look at it like natural water (pre stripped) has the basic electrolyte minerals...even sodium. I do supplement with these as well but regularly. I have read different things but personally much enjoy having the correct electricity in my body :) Let me add as well I do coffee enemas when I fast which are highly mineral intensive in making Glutathione which is the natural healing agent (free radical scavenger etc).   [End]
