So I'm\[M23\] on vacation and decided to have a dry fast here even though it's not too chill here.
I did no preparation, just went for it. The first day wasn't hard as I've done water fasts before. But the second day, I started getting hungry, but not very thirsty as I expected.
I was walking down the street and even though my muscles were flat, I was sensing more stares from strangers than usual. Suddenly there was this little boy with his friends who asked me to take a picture with him. And when I said "yes" he was so happy to take a picture with me, like you wouldn't believe it. I don't know if it has anything with my dry fast to do. And I suddenly felt much lighter and it was easier for me to be humble and grateful for the little things I have. I had so much energy (from the ketones my body started burning) but no motivation to do anything.
Day 3 was when I started to get worried because when I closed my eyes I would start seeing visuals like I never usually see. And I got so, so thirsty and I could feel my throath was acid-like and I had a horrible breath. And there I decided to break my fast 12 hours before my goal.
It's been 4 days since I broke my fast, and I have much less bellyfat, and people were reacting so much better to me, and I haven't been eating particularly healthy since I broke my fast. But I've been drinking at least a gallon of water a day and I was still thirsty.
And when I look at the pictures I look much better and younger now than I did before. And the all the healing that came was the things that I didn't even expect, like getting in touch with my inner child and taming my ego and such. And my social skills also improved.
Now I got no super powers, I just got some aspects polished in myself that I didn't even expect, but nothing crazy, so I wouldn't set my expectations too high. But it's much stronger than a water fast, no doubt.
Answer
Superpowers & stares esp from woman is a term I hear frequently from nofap. Haven’t noticed this while dryfasting thou, it seems more ppl pay less attention to me which isn’t a bad thing since I am usually very awkward.
Although, def the humble and grateful part I experienced everytime I fasted.
Answer
You have to measure what you weigh before, and what you weigh after rehydrating 1 day later and compare it to wet fasting to decide if there is a difference.
Wishful thinking affects your judgement too much to make sense of by eye alone
