I have never tried dry fasting… It must be very difficult. Hats off to you ! 
How many hour long is the dry fast?
It isn’t really difficult at all. Temptations abound no matter what you are trying to do… Cleaning, watching your emotions, eating or not. It’s all temptations. It’s how we meet them. We should be thankful when we meet temptations because temptations develop character … if we allow them to. I guess the biggest temptation is the emotional ones. I was upset with my husband; just a small thing. But I thought, “I should have one of those homemade cookies I have in the refrigerator.” Like that would have accomplished Anything. Any Habit I want to Make or Break, involves discipline and I have to realize, “This is Me battling against me. I will Do this and get this behind me.” Too often, I just roll over and give in. Then I feel bad because I Missed an opportunity to Grow. And That is what I really want. I want to be the best me I can be. I want to hear, "Well done, good and faithful son (daughter). Enter into the Joy of the Lord. " I can have that Joy Every day! That’s pretty cool.
This is a Five-Day soft dry fast. I was always told that you can’t go longer than 3 days without water. That was a Lie. I Do want to see how I am after 5 days. It also helped me to dig deeper into my fasting muscle to do this. So, it’s a Win/Win.

Day 5. Nov. 10. Day 3 of 5 of Soft Dry Fast. I am amazed. My head started up at about 1 AM. I got up and took a Garcinia Cambogia (rolled it in a smidge of butter to make it slide down my throat with little water. Only a swallow was necessary. I may have swallowed 1/4 cup of water all told. I hate that I can’t take my “Hair, Skin and Nails” vitamin, but it is only 5 days, then I will be back to Electrolyte Water. I can do 3 days now. I won’t drink anything until Saturday morning when we go to the bank. Also Saturday is a Busy day in the office, so it is good that I break Then. I will go Carnivore after that. But I am having no problems except for wanting to eat something. I’m not hungry. I just want to eat. Normal. Right?!! Tomorrow is Day 4 of the Dry Fast. That’s a big deal.
Well said. Biggest lesson of life! Its applicable everywhere… How we meet temptations determines the quality of our lives. I will always remember that.
Also, the Lord is with us when we work relentlessly towards a goal. That also keeps us going… For me personally, I feel all my strength and moral support comes from him.
I’m so proud of you Kay!
Day 3 of your dry fast … That’s impressive. 
Day 7. And Day 5 of a 5-Day Soft Dry Fast. I chose to break the Dry Fast today because tomorrow is a very tough day. On my feet steady with few if any breaks. Today was difficult with back to back patients, so it Is a good idea to add some liquid to my day. Feeling better already although I will be adding dry fasting to my next week. I plan on 2, 72 hour Fasts. The first 24 hours Electrolyte Water only, then 2 days of Soft Dry Fasting as I want to engage in a longer term Soft Dry Fast after Thanksgiving. Looking forward to the experiment with Dr Wade’s group. he has been doing quite a bit of Soft Dry Fasts with a group from his practice. He recommended the book, "The Phoenix Protocol Dry Fasting for Rapid Healing and Radical Life Extension by August Dunning. I look forward to reading it. I have so much to learn. Wed have to complete the book before the Fast. So. here I go.
This Fast, like Water Fasting, is pretty easy after the first two days. Then everything is pretty much the same. I am Thrilled. I had No Idea how much people have Lied to us over the years with false information and fear trying to keep us sick. Shameful.

I am not sure what “it’s a” means. I must have started and didn’t hit Reply, so my comments were not saved. Anyway, I made it through the 5 Day Fast and have learned much. There is no difference between a Water Fast and a Dry one. I don’t understand why they slam the Dry Fasting. It doesn’t kill you. I will continue reading the book on Dry Fasting and relay his remarks. The public is against Anything that Heals because they do NOY want people to heal themselves. They want us dependent upon the medical community… who Keeps us sick because There Is No Money In Curing People’s Sicknesses. Medicine Is A Business! Period. We MUST Learn to heal our own bodies, and it is done in HUGE measures through Fasting! It is SO Sad that we can not rust the FDA, the Big Pharma and the WISDOM from the Medical Community. Everyone must Read More and Trust No one from the other side. How Very Sad. I believe even Medical Doctors are Deceived. They actually Believe all the things they are taught. Few escape their deception. Keep Fasting and Question the push for drinking so much water that we Dilute our own best efforts.

I am continuing with Electrolyte Water Fasting for the remainder of the 21 days. I ate Saturday and Sunday and am back in the saddle again. Looking forward to the results this week. I will be doing Water Fasting on Day 1 and Dry Fasting for the next 2 Days. Then a Carnivore refeed within a 1-hour window; Then Water Fasting, Dry Fasting for the next 48 hours, followed by a Carnivore refeed (1-hour window) and repeat for the next 8 hours. I will continue this until Thanksgiving for Thursday and Friday, then back to Fasting Saturday and Sunday with a 1-hour Carnivore Refeed. Monday will begin a 7-Day Soft Dry Fast with Dr. Wade Baskin and his Fasting group on Facebook. Looking forward to these results. I will Post!!

My bad! " it’s a " got selected while I was replying to one of your post.
Congratulations for having completed your 5 Day Dry Fast. I’m so proud of you. The new schedule looks perfect. Around day 2-3 hunger is uncontrollable, adding carnivore meal will keep you on the track for longer duration.
Water fast and dry fast are new to many people and it’s difficult for people to understand . Especially those who have never gone without 3 meals a day. When I fasted, my grandmother used to come and offer me fruits because she thought I would become weak.
I wish everybody comes to know how efficient natural healing is. Although the good thing is, many people are now reading about Keto and fasting & it is now becoming popular. I think in next 20-30 years, it will be very common.
I also was on a break on Saturday and Sunday.
I started my Day 1 on Monday. On the same day, my Mother did a 24 hours fast for the first time. Now she is determined to fast more often.
I thought I had written the “It’s a…” Too Funny!!
I have yet to jump in!! Never start with “just One cookie…”. Don’t take the First! So, here I am back at square one! A good thing top keep in mind, if you Must eat, make it Meat, cheese (little), mayo. … Not Carbs. That way you don’t put On! Tomorrow is a new day. AND… Don’t fall for, “Well, you’ve Already Blown it. Might as well go all the way!” NEVER WORKS!!! I’ll check in tomorrow. I need to have a man-to-man talk with myself… or Face to Face… And Write It Down!!! Make it an Event!!

Writing about the Journey is Very good. Also writing your Goals. The first questions that Yasemin asked , though I hated dong it, was very helpful. I hadn’t really examined Why fasting was important to me until that time. I now need to revisit those answers. I know that there are so many stall events in the future… Thanksgiving, Christmas… the uncertainty of the days ahead, all cause me to pull back rather than to go full steam ahead. Thanksgiving is really making it hard to commit. We have a 9 day fast coming right after Thanksgiving that I plan on attacking with a Vengeance… if we are still looking good, politically. Go With Enthusiasm into this venture, j-brook!!! You Absolutely can do this!!!

Most fasts get broken not because of hunger but because of sugar cravings… Especially for those like me who have a sweet tooth. My fast broke because of a chocolate cake 
Now I will be staying away from sugars. I started fasting but ended up doing keto last two days. I will start water fast again today. Hopefully this one goes longer than last time.
I checked my bp yesterday. Before starting the fast my diastolic was 96 and yesterday it was 82…Water fasting has been a blessing!

Nov. 19, 2021. I reviewed my Notes in MyFitnessPal back in 2012 when I was at my goal weight for a Very long time. Then I dealt with the loss of my Mom, which was pretty good because I Knew where she was. Plus she was out of Fear, grief and all the things we deal with on a continual basis here on the earth. She was now in Heaven and her troubles were forever Over! Here, on earth, we deal with Carnal things, things that impact us physically and they are not as easy. But I saw that the only thing that separated me from Victory in this One Small Area of my life, was my Focus. As long as I see myself as Captive to my taste buds, my Emotions, my Temporary Self-gratification, I was losing this Very Small Battle. The Big things in life were all being impacted by this Very Small problem… my weight and all it affected… my self-esteem, my health and physical body issues, my Family and how I dealt with them, even my relationship with the Lord. This Very Small issue of addressing this Lack of Focus on the larger issues of life… Family, Faith, Relationships. energy, Life Expectancy… the List goes On… it could bring Victory in my life in So Many Other areas, and I could be a Better roll model to my family.
So, what’s holding me back? Nothing any more. I am going forth “conquering and to conquer”, with Obviously, the help of the Lord. Thank You, Father!!! You’re a Good, Good Father!

OK… Started a Soft Dry Fast last night. The problem is that it is only for 7 Days… I will log everything here. I just thought that maybe I should get permission from Yasemin… Going there right now…
Nov. 29, 2021
Ok. Day 1… Actually it started 9PM last night. My head is not great so far… Contemplated eating… so what else is new?!! Looking forward to bed, But, I can’t take Tylenol PM before bed… or right now, just to help me make it to bedtime. What can I say… I’m a Wuss! We’ll see how the day goes. Later…
End of Day 1… Head is not good. Going to bed as soon as the office closes. Tomorrow will be Better!!!
Day 2… Took 1/3 Tylenol PM about 3PM to get ahead of the headache. Didn’t work. Took 1 whole Tylenol PM at 8PM so my head wouldn’t clear up… all with No Water. I don’t recommend this, but I was Stuck in a bad place and had to. At 1:30 AM, I took 1/2 more and finally got back to sleep. Waked at 7 AM and was good. Praise God!! No headache today. Feeling good, actually. Haven’t accomplished much other than sent out a birthday card, some words on the computer and here I am. Catching up on record-keeping. It’s tough not using water or toothpaste for brushing teeth. But, ya Soldier-up and do what you gotta do. Tomorrow morning I take my first Cold Shower. But the 3rd day is when the body starts seriously breaking down fat to use it for Water and breaks down the fatty acid chains for the amino acids and begins to build protein. Also, the body breaks down cysts, tumors, damaged cells, folded proteins, etc to use the amino acids for building blocks for Protein. Our bodies are SO Resourceful!! This is Quite an Adventure for me. I will try to post tonight. 9 PM marks the 48 hour period and that is when all this Magic occurs. Did I mention my body will begin to Make its Own Adult Stem Cells on the 3rd day and I begin to get Younger on the Inside. Outside too, but at the end of 7 days, I will have Millions of Stem Cells to Remake my organs, tissues, blood vessels, even Nerves! How Awesome is That!!!

You are doing so well Kay!
Soft Dry fast seems to be difficult but very effective and impressive. I would like to join you soon. Is Dr. Wade’s book available on amazon?
Right now I’m trying to quit coffee and finding it very hard. Planned to quit it yesterday but failed. Its good that there can be many Day One’s until we succeed.
