>Take snake juice, or supplement electrolytes.>Water=2L>Potassium chloride =1 to 1.5 tsp (No Salt)>Sodium chloride = 1 to 1.5 tsp (Himalayan Pink Salt/table salt)>Optional: Sodium Bicarbonate = 1 tsp (Baking Soda), recommended for longer fasts or breaking dry fasts.>Optional: Magnesium - DO NOT use Epsom, it is a laxative, a 300mg citrate or glycinate supplement is best, or DIY Mag Bicarb (see discord sticky)>Mix and sip throughout the day, don't drink all at once. You'll shit yourself.>Also optional: drink some apple cider vinegar and lemon juice, 1 or 2 tsp in the snake juice, or separate. Use a straw.Won’t I go into starvation mode?

>Yes.Can I drink coffee, tea?
