Intermittent Dry Fasting Can Be Difficult, But It’s Worth It

intermittent dry fasting obstacles

To give a status update on my own intermittent dry fasting and intermittent water fasting results: Three days ago I did a 25 hour, water fast, then ate one meal, which was a large dinner at night. Two days ago, I did water fast for 20 hours, but ate a medium-sized meal and then a larger meal about 6 hours later. This was my first non-OMAD day in the past week. Then yesterday I did an intermittent dry fast for 23 hours. Today, I plan on doing OMAD again and fasting for about 22-24 hours. I think today will be fast though.

I’m still experimenting at this point, mainly for the purposes of autophagy and improved skin health more than anything else, but I feel like doing intermittent dry fasting every single day might not be the best strategy for your body. It’s tough to get in all the hydration you need right before your meal, during the meal, and after the meal at night, especially because if you drink too much at night, that could make you have to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. So I think alternating between one day of intermittent dry fasting and one day of intermittent water fasting might be the healthiest thing you can do. I will keep you up to date on my progress and how this strategy is working for for everyone, and it’s not something people should be doing all the time, but the benefits, in terms of fat loss and autophagy, much more powerful than just doing water fasting, so it’s worth trying it out.

To be fair, dry fasting, or any type of fasting for that matter, can be a difficult thing to do, and a very tough transition to make when you’re first starting out and coming from a with snacking lifestyle, but trust me when I tell you that the results you experience make it all worth it. From mental to weight loss, body fat percentage loss, to autophagy, and more, both intermittent dry fasting and intermittent water fasting, along with some extended fasts, are the most effective and healing things you can do for your health.

The specific benefits of intermittent dry fasting and extended dry fasting are numerous and have been expounded upon on this blog in posts like this: Dry Fasting Cures Everything

But as I’ve said before, when you do consume water, you’ll want to get the highest quality water you can find, and that can either come in the form of your own tap water which you can purify with a water purification treatment system, or with purified bottled water that has been remineralized, ionized, microstructured, and is oxygen-rich.
