Do you know if you lost more fat with a dry fast than an equivalent water fast?

I have a theory the body will sacrifice extra fat for its water content.

The converse appears to be true (lipolysis increases with hydration).

Breakdown products of fat are something like 16% water, but you also need enough water for hydrolysis of triglycerides to get lipolysis going.
