A lot of water is probably not a good thing while fasting.
The easiest fasts I ever done were dry fasts. The hardest was with a lot of water.
However since I got a kidney stone after dry fasting (I have no 100% proof it's correlated but it was close to a fast and it never happened before or after) I now drink a little bit of water while fasting (something like 300 ml per day, I do several days fasts, not intermittent).
- ford_o 5y agoI have never heard of dry fasting. It sounds pretty dangerous.
- mensetmanusman 5y agoIt’s not intense fasting, just the ‘only eat from 5-9pm’ daily type. I definitely feel better drinking water than not though, so it may vary by body type.
- LiquidPolymer 5y agoMy doctor told me kidney stones are very closely associated with mild dehydration. I’ve upped my water consumption and never had another (yet).
- entropie 5y agoWater is almost never bad for you, except in very large amounts. You absolutely need to drink more water/tea than usual while fasting and this is pretty much recommended at least by most professionals is the survival sector (probably by more, but in this case I know for sure). Especially if you need to get things done; while having no food drinking is even more important.
