Answer

In day 4 of a dry fast rn. I’ve done 5 days in the past so my plan is to get to 5 then continue intuitively after that. Curious to see how many days my body and mind are comfortable with at this stage. The inflammation from my enteropathic arthritis is lowered so that is super nice. Nice to be able to sleep.Keep up the good work folks.

Answer

I just completed a 2 day water fast followed by 78 hour dry fast. The longest I’ve done in the past is 4 days dry. My goal was to go 5-7 days dry but I was making liposomes and didn’t know they are absorbed with great efficiency transdermally and I accidentally got them all over my hands and on my arms. It slowed down my heart rate a bunch so I know they were absorbed into my bloodstream. At that point I just considered the fast broken and started to eat again. It’s too bad because I felt that I could have most likely made it to or beyond day 5.

Once I gain 15 to 20 pounds I am going to try for 5 to 7 days again but try and make it a hard dry fast.
