I’ve done ≈24-hour dry fasts once/month for religious reasons every month since age 10 or so. (I’m late 30s now.)
Dry fasting is much more difficult for me than regular fasting. I wouldn’t recommend doing it longer than 24 hours, 36 max. For me, 48 hours normal fasting is about the same as 24 hours dry fasting (in terms of unpleasantness). At the very least you should work your way up to it.

Is it a Mormon thing? I have heard that dry fasting is similar to 2-3x the amount of water fasting, so your experience makes sense. I don't plan on doing it for a while, but yea planning on starting with a day.

Yep! Good luck.
