Do you actually do dry fasting? I dont think I could fast at all if I wasnt able to drink water.

Yep. I got used to it pretty quickly. Now, I don't even think about drinking water, unless I've been mowing the lawn or something like that.

Isnt that harsh on your liver and kidneys?

Not that I'm aware of. Do you have any resources that go into that?

The whole point is that your body makes its own water. So, you shouldn't be dehydrated to a damaging extent.

I still drink coffee and there's lots of water in the foods I eat most often.

However, dry fasting can also lead to serious complications, including dehydration, nausea, headaches, and muscle pain. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/dry-fasting

I suppose it can, but that would be taking dehydration beyond the point of beneficial stress.

Plus, what did those clowns say about Covid? Mainstream health and nutrition experts haven't exactly covered themselves in glory, lately.

Yes, their guidelines on covid were in their interest. But I think you might want to do more research and or maybe go for a checkup. If they do a blood draw, they can check your liver and kidney function pretty easily.

I'll pass on that. I've looked into this enough for my own satisfaction and I'm taking a much more moderate approach than many others.

Autophagy is important for body health. No matter which way it is achieved.
