Recently I got a few Braggs e-books and in all of them they suggest only distilled water especially in their fasting book. They have a point that we use it for babies in formula. It makes me think that we have...
A friend is doing a 21-day fast, but starting a prep week first. Her prep week consists of drinking only cherry and apple juice for some reason. Then she says she'll start the 21-day fast. The longest she's done is...

I noticed on my 40 day water fast after a while distilled water became very bitter and uncomfortable to drink. But spring water was just as good as it always was. Why is that? I know truenorth center drinks distilled...
Lots of filters don’t filter out the bad stuff. Water bottles have micro plastics and I’ve heard reverse osmosis is bad. I’m just kinda stuck and at not sure what to believe.
So I recently tried water fasting for detoxing and weight loss, but I had to stop on the second day because of irregular heart palpitations and chest pain. I'm about 60 lbs overweight but have no medical problems and I...
I am brand new to fasting. What type of water do you recommend? I have seen so many suggestions with distilled, mineral, purified, and spring. I'm pretty unsure, haha.
I searched the sub and couldn’t find any previous posts that would help answer this question. I’m familiar with wet fasting and was thinking of doing a dry fast. One problem: I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine...
February-March 2020 I went on a 33 day dry/water fast. The first 4 days were dry and the rest of the days after that were distilled water and combination dry meaning I’d dry fast some days or drink barely any...
Recently watched this clip from a well known Biochemist and Biomedical expert Dr. Rhonda Patrick: https://youtu.be/i-hCUkAsbpU She says that consumption and metabolising of xenobiotics actually breaks a fast, in terms of the autophagy process. So even pure black coffee or vitamins of...
Would you consider it a more holistic or healthy food? Or do you consider it processed / factory made? Specifically I am referring to Rosarita Brand Traditional refried beans. It is my favorite and tastes so damn good…. The store brand doesnt even...
We know fat cells can be destroyed for metabolic water, but do fat cells contain electrolytes? Would metabolic water carry electrolytes? What vitamins / minerals do fat cells hold?

With zero proof alcohols becoming more popular as of late, I couldn’t find much info on this. Would a zero proof/zero calorie mocktail break a fast or trigger an insulin response in any way? Let’s say that I’m being very picky...
And if it has 0 calories, am I right by thinking there is no risk of it breaking my fast? Is it true that sparkling water makes you hungrier in the long run?
So I was thinking about drinks like Gatorade and Powerade. Both claim to help with rehydration especially for athletes. I know that drinks like the two brands I mentioned have electrolytes that aid in rehydration. I was wondering what the...
The sub r/fasting has long auto mods on every post about electrolytes as well as not using the word ‘detox.’ Apparently there was some scientific meta analysis that found no diet is known for detox. However several toxic substances, like...

I understand calories are from carbs, fats, and proteins. But I’m starting to see alcohol saying “0 carbs, 0 fat, 0 protein” but they will have calories. I always assumed alcohol calories are a subset of carbs. Can anyone clarify...

Tongue taste like Snake Juice 24/7 even after brushing. I'm thinking instead of Snake Juice ingredients + 2L water I'll do: Snake Juice ingredients + 500ml water 1.5 mL Water So I'd sip ultra concentrated Snake Juice, gargle and swallow water...

Just for curiousity. Would you persist having headaches or is it quickly life threatning?
i know salt is a vital nutrient in our diet - but do all the salts have the same nutritional compounds? is himalayan pink salt as good as sea salt is as good as regular Morton’s table salt?
I fast 36 hours per week consistently (early dinner Sunday, late breakfast Tuesday). This has worked well for me and after getting used to them I find them easy. The last few months I let myself go a little. I'm not...
Some things I've observed: * DO NOT take in too much salt/potassium in a day, it will really mess with your numbers and the natural progression of the fast * Water fasting has absolutely NO affect on body Acidity/Alkalinity/Ph levels * Day 4...
