 It’s confusing as fuck though haha Dr. Berg on YouTube says that drinking tons of water will actually dehydrate you more because you need electrolytes to retain the water. His recommendation is to just to drink when thirsty. Idk what to do lmao

 What @[ARCHIVED] Jay said. Electrolyte water.  Goal of fasting is what? Re-Acclimate your insulin resistance and stabilize metabolism.  So low sugar electrolyte solutions, will help. 

BTW. Don't just think it's ONLY water. Perhaps when you fast you don't drink coffee and therfore end up with a caffeine headache
