How do I break my 85 hour dry fast?

Searching the web and not finding much -- just a video of Cole drinking some coconut water and I don't wanna go buy that. So right now, I plan on sipping a glass of water with a teaspoon of baking soda in it. But I also want to....eat again....after 3.5 days of not eating. Maybe some chicken noodle soup? Seems like Cole wants us to break the dry fast with a whole extra day of not consuming food, only liquids? Anyone have experience with this? Don't wanna gain the weight back

Answer

You’ll gain some weight for sure, but it’s water not fat so don’t worry. I always break my dry fast with baking soda (Like you mentioned) and then i eat as always after breaking a fast: try to stick to low/zero carb and dont eat too much in one sitting. I always break my fast with soft cooked eggs (like 2 for example) few hours later I usually eat some tofu with low carb vegetables.

I’ve done a few 3 day dry fasts and literally just ate a couple pounds of steak. People worry too much about all this. From my experience if at that point of your fast you wanna end it but don’t have hunger drink salt water and electrolytes. 3 days is where the dry fast and any fast in my experience starts to get more serious it’s kinda the cut off. The only time I would be concerned about ending a dry fast with protocol is if it is around 4 days and beyond that then you just gotta be smart and give your body time to get water and electrolytes. This has been my experience and I was extremely ill.
