fasting with no water? really?

Dry fasting – someone, please explain to me why anyone thought this was a good idea. No food? Fine, whatever, I get it. But no water? Are we suddenly camels? Humans need hydration to basically function on any conceivable level, but hey, let’s just pretend we can photosynthesize or something. Makes no sense.

And don’t even get me started on the idea of “metabolic water.” What is that even? Sounds like something someone made up just to convince people that not drinking water is somehow miraculous for weight loss. Like, great, why not just sit in the Sahara and expect your body to magically generate water. Genius. Total genius.

Then there are these claims about it speeding up fat burn. Yeah, because your body is probably panicking and searching for some moisture source like it’s lost in an episode of Bear Grylls’ survival show. I’m convinced it’s some masochistic experiment dressed up as health advice. Whatever.
