ADVICE

Start With A Soft Dry Fast

  • Do a soft dry fast (no food or water but allow showering and handwashing) if you want benefits with lower risk.
  • Avoid drinks, supplements, and intense activity during the dry fast to preserve the protocol's effects.
INSIGHT

Healing Starts As Digestion Ends

  • Around six hours into a dry fast digestion finishes and energy diverts to healing.
  • Early weight drop reflects glycogen and water release, which Ben calls cleansing rather than dehydration.
INSIGHT

Shift From Glycogen To Ketones

  • By 8–10 hours insulin drops and the liver burns glycogen, shifting the body to fat-burning.
  • Ketones begin forming and provide the brain with a new, efficient fuel source soon after.
