Try it once without.
My experience was that I hit the point of thirstiness where I would normally drink something, but I never got any thirstier than that afterwards.
I think our bodies basically send us signals before they switch metabolic states. If you don't eat when your body first tells you that it's hungry, you'll just go into ketosis and stop feeling so hungry.
Similarly, if you don't drink when your body first tells you it's thirsty, it starts producing endogenous water.
Our bodies are lazy and they try to take the path of least resistance, but they're very resilient, too.
I always weighed myself in the morning and night because of my water intake.
It kind of told me where l was weight wise during a fast.
I started another fast yesterday, l am wondering when l will start ketosis?
Last time it took 3 days before l felt like it started.

Really?
What signal do you go off of, to gauge when you're into ketosis?

metallic taste can't be a good sign?

I think it just has to do with the different electrolyte balance the body maintains while in ketosis.
I don't know. I had just been relying on what I've heard about timing.
The taste thing is interesting. I'll pay more attention to that. There's a taste difference I've noticed with dry fasting that might be the same thing.
