> [@cp3](#): > > 2 day water fast/wk I didn’t watch the video yet, but be careful not to overdo it. 🙂 I did 2-5 day water fasts for a long time, but they were at least a month apart because they were intense, and I drank a lot of water — probably more than a gallon per day. I eventually switched to less intense things like 16/8 intermittent feeding where food intake is confined to an 8-hour window during the day. In case you haven’t seen it, it looks like dry fasting increases the risk of kidney stones and other health problems: > **[What 'dry fasting' is and why you shouldn't do it](https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2020-02-13/dry-fasting-benefits-dangers)** > > Your kidneys don't need to "reset," and your body really, really needs water. Please drink some water.
