What If You Drank Only Water for the Rest of Your Life?

What damage will you do to your organs? And how many days can you last?

What if is one of my favorites YouTubers this guy always manages to make my day better thank you for always being there for your fans

[HarryInShape]

Oh, I thought it was about drinking water for the rest of your life in another context. Like, what happens if you only drink water instead of other drinks

the longest fast was 382 days and the guy lived pretty well afterwards

[AsiaJahnea]

I can feel my stomach burning just thinking about it 😭

[iLLustrious]

The longest I've lasted on a water only fast was 5 days, but then again, 5 days was my target, so idk how much longer I could have went. I also didn't want to lose anymore weight. It's nice, after say, day 3 you don't really feel hunger. No, it doesn't take 10 days to get into ketosis..

Fasting without eating would be both a blessing and a curse in my case. I’m borderline obese, so I would lose weight significantly, but I would be so damn hungry lol

[brandleythomas]

All I got from this is that you definitely can last the rest of your life only drinking water. It's just that the rest of your life would only be about 70 days🤷🏽‍♂️

This was exactly what I wanted to see and find on YouTube, I’m so great-full that ‘What If’ made a video about it

I believe the world record which occurred a long time ago was somewhere around 280+ days without food drinking only water and i can’t remember the exact days it lasted. To start, the person was very much overweight and they was just loosing weight the entire time as well all that time and lost a hell of a lot of weight and then kept it off. Back in 2019, I myself fasted for 25 days injecting nothing but water and was just fine. I’m not skin and bones, so I also had body weight I found shed which I did to around almost 20 lbs over the three weeks. Everybody is different with their body and if you have excess weight in fat stores to loose, your body will just slowly burn it off slowly over the time your water fasting. So you can water fast much longer than a week.

My friend did it for 100 days but she was morbidly obese. She lost a lot of weight quickly. No loose skin but after starting to eat she hadn’t broken those bad eating habits and wound up gaining some of it back. Not to where she was but like a gastric sleeve if you don’t change your habits you’ll wind up whee you were before

1:34 omg!! Love the Patrice “Drink water and mind my business” reference😍🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[tawheedahmad]

This video is more like"What if you don't eat any food for 70 days"

[arnoldguisa]

One thing to keep in mind. Don’t drink too much water in one sitting take your
Time drinking throughout the day 👌

[chuwiq]

i tried keto diet before. not same process as drinking water only but you'll get the same effect of ketosis state. although i did lose weight faster than other process of diet, its not really fun to do and you'll definitely have a very bad mood like almost a depression. also after you quit keto and started to eat normally again, you'll easily gain weight again.

I was expecting what if you only drink only water but still eat food .

[BananaGrace]

I work a physical labor job and during the summer, I’d probably consume close to a gallon and a half of water each day I worked, with added electrolytes .. and still feel thirsty because I was sweating and moving so much… however, on my days off, I just sleep most of the day and maybe get through 2-3 bottles of water at most.. I can usually tell when I need more electrolytes when I’ve been drinking regular water all day and I’m still thirsty.. I try to balance it out when I’m drinking that much water in one day.

[rodneylamb]

I have done this for 4 months. It was a great experience! Makes you realize we focus so much on putting trash in are body’s!

[SuperNova-Tales]

There are 13 boys in Thailand who survived after being stuck in a cave for over 10 days without food, only water and they all made quick recoveries.

If you drank too much water You may start experiencing things like confusion, drowsiness, and headaches. If this pressure increases it could cause conditions like hypertension (High Blood Pressure) and bradycardia (Low Heart Rate). Sodium is the electrolyte most affected by overhydration, leading to a condition called hyponatremia and most people die by water intoxication not infections

I don’t drink any sodas. I drink water with some juices and milk on some occasions. I made a lifelong commitment to never drink alcohol
