| 0:00.0 | So I had this question come up, what is my opinion on dry fasting? |
| 0:24.9 | So I decided to create a short video just to give you my opinion. |
| 0:28.5 | So what is dry fasting compared to water fasting? |
| 0:32.0 | Dry fasting is fasting or not eating without any liquids, any water of any kind. |
| 0:38.8 | Water fasting is when you're fasting, yet you're drinking water. |
| 0:42.2 | And there's two types of dry fasting, there's soft dry and hard dry. |
| 0:47.8 | Soft dry is when you're allowed to use water when you're brushing your teeth or taking |
| 0:51.9 | a shower. |
| 0:53.2 | Hard dry is when you're not exposing any part of your body to water at all. |
| 0:58.0 | So that being said, our bodies usually will only last about three days without water, sometimes |

| 1:25.6 | Unfortunately, there's no research on comparing a dry fast to a wet fast side by side. |
| 1:34.7 | So I pretty much looked everywhere and I could not find even one research study. |
| 1:40.1 | But because there's no research, doesn't necessarily mean that it's not a good thing or can't |
| 1:43.9 | get amazing results. |
| 1:45.4 | There's just not enough data to tell you for sure if it works better than a wet fast. |
| 1:51.4 | Now in theory, when you're doing a dry fast, you're adding more stress to the body. |
| 1:55.0 | So hypothetically, you could potentially get better results for a day. |
