Autophagy definitely happens with water fasting.
But I have been reading that it happens more quickly/substantially with dry fasting.
Dry fasting, at this point, is wildly beyond the pale for anyone who still believes mainstream media. The ONLY thing the mainstream media will say is that dry fasting is insanely dangerous, and don't go near it.
@Undisciplined, I'd love to hear more about how you do dry fasting. Specifics, and also how it helps you. And what you consider the best resources on it.
Honestly, I have no idea if it's helping me. I've always been pretty healthy, so there weren't any acute problems to clear up.
I just layer it on top of my daily intermittent fast, as well as not drinking water during the day. I still have coffee in the morning, which breaks the dry fast. Most days, I'm probably going about 14 hours without water and 16 without food.
A colleague of mine told me about it and I thought he was nuts. Then, a while later I saw a video about it from Eric Berg (I think) that went into the science and research. I found that convincing enough to give it a shot and it just became part of my habits.
My colleague mentioned that a NASA scientist has written a lot about this, so that might be something to look into.
