I found a motivational video for my next dry fast period. The presenter is cussing and seemingly raving a lot, but he has some points I think:

I only did a 34 hour dry fast this week, because even though only slight thirst during the fast, which is great, I felt weak. And I plan to increase the length of the fast next week if I feel less weak during that fast.

I'm doing a short dry fast today, only to prepare myself for the longer fast starting on Tuesday (Monday night). And I wanted to rant about what I find to be BS in the explanations of dry fasting. The claim everybody makes it seems is that during a dry fast the cells in the body start to fight for s...

I'm having a cup of tea now. After just a bit over 24 hours of dry fasting. I plan a longer fast next week and decided to take it very easy in this first week. I believe a gradual approach is more gentle to my body and mind and makes the detachment from the millions of years of food and drink addict...

I have started my first prolonged dry fast period now. My preparation has been a few short dry fasts, all shorter than 24 hours iirc. I'm a bit confused about if I should stay totally dry even if suffering begins, or if I should "cheat" a bit by drinking and maybe even eating if the suffer...

We are still on earth stuck in an either/or situation; either we are selfish (in the narrow sense) or we try (genuinely or for show) to be selfless and serve others.

I did some more research because I wasn't clear about autophagy, if that can remove senescent cells, meaning cells that have stopped dividing and are poisoning the surrounding healthy cells. And I now learned that eating up the senescent cells is called autolysis: "The physiology of fasting fav...

Here is an example of a person claiming to have been doing a dry fast for almost 11 days: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mPF5wS5rrQ[/youtube] I don't trust claims like that. People can make up all kinds of stories. I don't distrust the claim in the video either, it could be true! And also...

I'm actually doing a small semi-dry fast today (I drank some Mountain Dew and a small can of chilled Starbucks espresso earlier today :)) and now I started to feel slightly thirsty. And then I waited to see if this was a valid thirst or just a mental and bodily habit. And then after some minutes the...
