That's how camels survive the desert. They store fat in their humps and could go dry a month or so.

I had absolutely NO IDEA that fat in the body can turn to water. "Metabolic water". Hadn't heard anything about it at all.

Yeah, I have a colleague who does a seven day dry fast every year. I had the same reaction. 

After looking into it, I think you can dry fast as long as you have body fat to burn.

When did you realize that wokeness was a real threat? My story...

Yeah that was WILD! I saw some videos of that. 

I really like their podcast (Brett Weinstein and Heather Heyig), the Dark Horse. They're a little long-winded, but they have some really interesting topics come up. 

Just recently they had a whole episode on dry fasting. Apparently they both did a 3 (or was it 7 day?) dry fast recently. And Heather Heyig had a chronic pain condition clear up, that's she'd had for about 8 years. Very interesting. I didn't even know that a dry fast of that length was possible.
