Answer

Last night after dinner started a 3-5 day dry fast. I have done 6+ moderately long water and dry fasts but it’s been approx 2 years since my last one so, I’ll be taking it a day at a time. Water, juice, fruit refeed. Goal is to stay sub 10g of fat per day after that and only cooked meals for dinner so I can lean out quick and train on my bike… Probably the polar opposite of what most folks in this sub do but, a vegan diet is good for my digestion and I don’t have to live a life of restriction, ie restrict cals and do IF. Fasting has also been much much easier on a mostly fruit diet.

Got a pretty chill week ahead. Just gonna take a few walks, rest, get caught up on reading and Elden Ring. I hope I’m able to sleep. Wish me luck. ✌️

Answer

11-Day dry fast done! Breaking with 8oz warm water every hour for first day. Sipping it. Vegetable broth with zero salt will be for end of day 1 and beginning of day 2. Diluted juices (cucumber, cabbage, coconut water, lime) on end of day 2 and beginning of day 3. Yay!
