Dr Mindy here and on this video I'm going to talk about water fast versus dry fast so
if you're new to my channel I just want to say welcome I'm a woman on a mission you're going to
find that all over this channel I want to get a million people this channel this year so we can
end chronic disease there is incredible evidence there's incredible science that shows that
fasting will reverse metabolic syndrome which so many people have and if you are metabolically
healthy your immune system will be stronger your brain will work better you'll sleep better
you'll love the body you're living in so I'm really excited to share my passion
for fasting with you and those of you that share my videos out massive gratitude for you
and as always everybody make sure you guys hit the subscribe button the notification
bell so that you get all the new videos and new science that I'm bringing you
okay I've been really going in hard with dry fasting this week it is what we're
doing for fast training week so if this is the first video you're watching go back and
watch all the other ones there's incredible evidence that dry fasting can be a really
helpful tool for speeding up healing this fast training week is now sponsored by LMNT which
is a mineral supplement that all fasters need I would recommend if you want to know more about
it hit companion guide on in your notes or in your comments and my team will send you a link
and you can win a free box a big box bigger than this box you can win a free box of LMNT and
give it a try for yourself so know that that's an option for you okay how many of you are thinking
put it in the comments how many are thinking gosh she's got me pretty excited about dry fasting
I even in my own research was like huh I should really drive fast a little bit more
so how do you know when do you water fast when do you dry fast if you're new to my
concepts hopefully you know that I recommend six different fasts and they're all based off of time
go back to the videos that I've done talking about these six different fasts and I'm gonna throw in
dry fasting I do believe that dry fasting the maximum length you ever do is 24 hours
and I think there are four conditions I would say hmm I'd rather dry fast than
water fast so here's the first one the first one is that if you are stuck with weight loss
if you are trying these six different fast you're trying the variations and you're like
not working throw a day or two in of dry fasting do recreate this fast training week for yourself
do five days of dry fasting Ramadan style maybe you do a whole month of dry fasting Ramadan style
which means you're eating a meal still I just want to point that out now in with Ramadan fasting they
eat a meal in the morning the way we mimicked it this week was you could have coffee and water in
the morning so put it into the mix to see if it will unstick weight loss because remember that the
fat cells have the most amount of water so when you dry fast you're going after those fat cells
you're forcing your body to go burn fat to find the water so it's kind of cool like that
second thing and now this is anecdotal like I've seen it just in my clinic I've seen it
in my academy, I've seen it you guys have mentioned this that dry fasting will get you into a deeper
ketosis quicker so if you are practicing metabolic switching and you're struggling
to get those ketones up where you want them to be throw in a couple days of dry fasting and see what
happens that we have definitely seen an evidence that dry fasting pushes you into ketosis quicker
gets you in that fat burning place because again your body's got to go find the water in fat and
burn it and the byproduct of that will be ketones okay third thing that i like about dry fasting
over water fasting is the BDNF production so you can get BDNF from exercise which is great you can
repair neurons from water fasting but nothing stimulates this BDNF fertilizer for the brain
like dry fasting so it is anywhere remember from 12 to 24 hours no food no water and we're doing
it Ramadan style and then the last thing that I think about when I think about dry versus water
is so many of you guys are doing water fast like some of you I watch your comments you're doing
like three-day water fasts every single month or you're really doing one meal a day a lot I think
that I would use dry fasting to cycle it in if you've been doing a lot of water fasting and
you need some more variations that's not a timed variation because this is what's cool about dry
fasting is that you're going to throw it into the mix but it doesn't mean you have to fast longer
you're just doing your fast a little different so if you've been fasting the same way over and over
and over again try some dry fasting again you can throw it in for a day you can throw it in
for five days that's really up to you so those are the four con conditions where my brain goes
I think I like dry fasting as a mix over water fasting this does not mean I don't like water
fasting I still believe so deeply in these six different fasts but I also like throwing
in the dry fast when we need to create a more healing response when it comes to fat burning
when it comes to ketosis when it comes to BDNF production I'd even throw it in for a little
skin if you need some skin repair we talked about that this week it's a good one to add into your
variation and if you do it safely like Ramadan fasting it can be really helpful for your overall
health profile so if you guys want to know what does it mean to build a fasting lifestyle what
does it mean to vary your fast come join me in the november fat burning reset just put november
fat burner in the comments and my team will send you a link these resets there are 15 days where I
show you how to use the power of variation of fasting to make yourself a better fat burner
fasting is incredible but the variation makes you a fat burner which is why I was really excited to
bring you dry fasting this week and if you want more information on dry fasting you're joining
me at the end of about six videos I just did on dry fasting so please go back and watch all
of those videos this will go in a playlist so that we can categorize them all in a great spot
and those of you that love dry fasting you have great experience with it put it in the notes let
everybody see it if you want the science on all these videos they'll be in the companion guide
but they're also always in the notes so if you're we get a lot of medical doctors here we have a
lot of health practitioners if you're wanting to know the science as you come to meander through
my videos here on youtube go to the notes i link all the science in there so that you can be up to
speed on what fasting can do for your patiInts so as always I love being on this journey with you
let me know what you thought of fast training week at dry fasting curious if this fast went
over great for you or if you hated it you can put that in the notes too so hope that helps
