Today, I’m going to share some of the amazing benefits of dry fasting and water fasting There are over 50 genes that protect us from famine and drought and produce many health benefits. Fasting can help you lose weight, burn fat, and live longer. It helps improve cardiovascular health and can improve your blood sugars.

A study involving birds compared birds who ate food and drank water, birds who only drank water, and birds who were essentially dry fasting as they flew across the desert. The group of dry-fasting birds generated 6 times more water than the group of birds that drank water! The dry-fasting birds also burned more fat.

When fat is burned with oxygen from the air, it turns into water. The idea that we need massive amounts of water was developed from a campaign that terrified us of dehydration! You don’t need to overdo it with water; you just need to drink when you’re thirsty.

Dry fasting is a useful tool for weight loss, but you want to ensure you do it correctly for the most fasting benefits. Follow a low-carb diet for a while before trying dry fasting. Once your body is adapted to fat burning, you’ll find that fasting is much easier.

Try water fasting before attempting dry fasting. If you’re water fasting, you can consume water, electrolytes, supplements, and sea salt. If you’re dry fasting, you don’t consume anything.

One day of dry fasting is equal to three days of water fasting! Dry fasting turns off digestion and allows the kidneys time to rest, allowing your body to switch into repair mode.

After your fast, begin eating gradually, starting with liquids. Kefir and bone broth are good choices to break your fast.

  • I'm 47 and after trial and errors: My best routine is to stop drinking at 4 pm. (going to sleep at 8 pm) The next morning I would start drinking at 4 am (that's 12 hours dry fasting). Thanks to this, I don't wake up to pee at night. I would start eating at 10 am. I just started removing my 4 pm meal (so I eat only once a day). I'm not hungry or thirsty during my Intermittent (dry) fast. Only eating "junk" makes me hungry or more thirsty, so I stopped it all together. I had to make myself sick eating junk to realize my craving was actually an illusion, for all I want is to express and feel is joy from within, and not a temporary pleasure from outside. Good luck everyone on your path to your health. I believe we all need to experience by trial and errors to come to our own conclusion.
  • Dry fasting has always been magical for me. A few times I’ve done 3 day dry fasts, it was weirdly easier than some of my 3 day water fasts. The feeling of anti-inflammation and lightness is incredible. My first 3 day dry fast cured some ankle pain and neck pain I’d been having for months. Try it! I need to do it again soon
  • 6pm to 6am… no food no water… extremely easy to do !!! We can ALL DO IT!!!! 💪
  • For years I did a 24 hr dry fast every Wednesday. I did spiritual reasons and as a by product my health was impeccable. I didn't connect the dots until recent years when I started fasting for my health and all the research said it was better to do water fasting. I can personally say that dry fasting yielded better results and I was perfectly fine although it a tougher to get through the fast while I was still eating a standard American diet throughout the week. I think I am going to give dry fasting another chance coupled with a ketogenic diet/lifestyle.
  • Amazing video and your sarcasm is spot on! Did dry fasting for half a day last year, diluted ACV with squeezed fresh lemon juice and added electrolytes, keto meals, good sleep and dropped off weight quickly including stubborn belly fat. Thanks, Dr Berg.
  • @user-yc2we5tz8x
    I just want to thank you i have been watching your videos for over 3 years and doing keto and omad for 3 years and now in day 4 of 7 days fasting plan every problem in my body is fixed , you are my doctor my teacher my rule model i love you im writing this with tears in my eyes and i know you may not read this but its something i wanted to share ❤
  • @RG20245
    I have immense respect for you. You’re so honest and not scared of anyone while being forthright . The world needs more people like you.
  • @plainjane-rb8ky
    Eat healthy, exercise, take vitamin tabs, drink green tea and sleep well.. That's what I've done and just celebrated my 70th birthday lately. 😊
  • I have suffered for so many years from Nocturia, or frequent urination at night. I would wake up three to four times, or sometimes even more. I have tried to find a solution through intermittent fasting, water fasting, and even a 72-hour water fast, but nothing cured my problem. It wasn't until I started dry fasting that I saw changes in my sleep. I am no longer waking up frequently to pee. Now, I feel much better with undisturbed sleep and wake up feeling refreshed.

    They always suppress your videos but I make sure to check your channel because it’s so helpful

    I just did my first 24 hrs of DRY FASTING and it was easier than I expected!! I got through the day without any cravings or headaches. I’ve done prolonged water fasting many times before and I find I was spending a lot of money for electrolytes, trace minerals, and supplements and spent time constantly prepping my beverages as well as had more cravings and urges to eat. With the dry fasting I was able to go do life with less interruptions for consumption. I will try to prolong this dry fast for a couple more days to see how my body responds, before switching back to water and IF. But thus far, dry fasting already feels more effective and sustainable for me than the others. My goal is to heal my body from fibroids, tennis elbow, knee bursitis, carpal tunnel, and eczema, so that I could get back to living an active lifestyle without pain and feeling fit, free, energized.

    It gets better, the first time I did a dry fast it was 3 days of hell. I recently did a 5 day dry fast and breezed through it and was nowhere near as thirsty, i even exercised a bit, unlike before, where I was bedridden from fatigue. I like dry fasting, cause its honestly easier than water fasting and the health benefits are insane the longer you go. If anyone wants to know more just look up August Dunning on Youtube he goes in-depth with it.

  • @sophierose235
    The sarcasm is fantastic. I am easily able to do a 3-4 day water fast, and have forgotten to drink water during this time. An interesting phenomenon occurs, that is I drink a few cups of water before bed, I pee it out quickly and the scale drops more, in the morning when I weight myself. It’s fascinating.
  • @Nisa1971
    It's a war, and those companies profiting figured out long ago how to profit on both sides: food and drink. Dry fasting should be done with rest, sleep and some meditation.
  • @AdamEvans416
    Dig where the content is going lately! 💯 Water fasting advocate for years here, will now try dry fast 🤔
  • Soldiers WW2 in Tropics were sometimes denied water from Sunrise to Miday to prevent adverse issues associated with drinking too much water in heat/humidity
  • @GORGEdotORG
    I did an 8 day hard dry fast. I mostly stayed in bed. I urinated regularly; that’s when I learned that our bodies make water.
  • @hiruthaile2666
    As Oriental Orthodox Christian we dry fast more than 12 hours, 18 hours before taking a Holly communion. Yes, it works foe both body and mind.
