I imagine most of us have "dry fasted" for 8 to 12 or even 14 hours overnight at one time or another .. for a blood test, or other medical/surgical procedure. Sometimes a sip of water might be allowed, for example to take an essential medication.
As a daily habit .. well, it's probably fine, although it's worth considering such things as hydration status during the day, as well as intake of essential electrolytes .. potassium and sodium in particular .. and climate (ie, hot & dry would have a different impact than high humidity or coldness).
Such things would require expert advice and supervision, which is beyond the scope of our lowcarb forum. Other members above have expressed caution. If one is looking for tips and advice for extended dry fasts beyond overnight, then we respectfully ask that you seek such advice from experts elsewhere.
Please read our most recent policy explanation .. https://forum.lowcarber.org/showthr...525#post9301525 including posts that follow it.
