Dry fasting
In the struggle for health and an ideal figure, many people are ready for anything. Fasting is, in fact, the most extreme method of losing weight, which forces the body to use up reserves of adipose tissue in the absence of new nutrients. Many supporters of this method note that the strong stress experienced by the body contributes to psychological recovery and restoration of the functioning of all vital systems of the body. During normal fasting, a person can take fluids. In general, a healthy, unexhausted person can survive for up to 40 days without getting food. Dry fasting is a controversial technique that prohibits taking not only food, but also water during fasting. We know that liquid makes up 70% of our body weight and is vital for the normal functioning of the body. Official medicine considers fasting without liquid to be unacceptable. In conditions where water does not enter the body, the kidneys cannot remove the breakdown products of adipose tissue and protein products. These substances become toxic in high doses. In the coming days after the refusal of fluid, a person dies, and being in a clouded state of mind.
Dry fasting for weight loss
The results of dry fasting for weight loss are very modest. The time of hunger is very limited. Moreover, during this period, few calories are consumed due to a sharp decrease in physical activity and poor health. Body weight falls mainly due to fluid loss. After the person starts drinking again, the arrow of the scales returns to almost original values. The breakdown of adipose tissue is no more than 200 grams per day. Reviews about dry fasting emphasize what exactly I didn't want to eat during the diet, but the feeling of thirst was painful. Usually, dry fasting for weight loss is not used for more than 2-3 days. In general, this technique should not be considered as a way to lose weight. If you do decide to risk your health and use fasting without water, remember that the important stages are the correct preparation and completion of hunger.
Preparation for the technique and exit from dry fasting
According to Shchennikov's method, dry fasting requires preparation for 15-30 days. All these weeks you need to adhere to a certain diet. The author suggests a raw food diet. In addition, cleansing procedures and antiparasitic treatments are recommended. Of course, from the point of view of doctors, it is possible and necessary to prepare for an episode of prolonged lack of fluid. At least a few days before the method, you must switch to eating foods that will not result in heavy decay products. At a minimum, you need to give up protein foods - meat, eggs, chicken, fish. An important component of Shchennikov's program is mental attitude and moral preparation. Both during preparation and during the fasting itself without water, a person is advised to remain silent, refuse to watch TV programs and other empty entertainment. Coming out of dry fasting lasts three times longer than the fast itself. During the exit from dry fasting, liquid is first taken, then light food, then raw food is applied, and after that it is possible to return to the usual diet.

The Shchennikov dry fasting program is the most popular author's technique. The adepts of this system promise miraculous healing in a simple and affordable way. At least, the ability to cure oncology, activate tissue regeneration processes, stabilize blood pressure, reduce medication intake, and improve logical thinking is positioned. From the standpoint of science, words about the release of the body from exo- and endotoxins sound especially doubtful. Indeed, from the point of view of physiology, the absence of fluid will cause just the accumulation in large quantities of compounds toxic to the body. The technique assumes 7-11 days of dry fasting, and this can definitely be called hazardous to health. Reviews of dry fasting by adherents of the method sound enthusiastic. Perhaps this can be explained by the factthat the method is more of a spiritual practice and from this point of view has its advantages.
