I actually did find some info on stiffness in joints during fasting, apparently it is another process of detox, as well as the darker urine.
Here is a passage i found...
"Aches and pains: Elimination of toxins can cause tightness in some parts of the body resulting in aches and pains. During a long fast, some people are temporarily freed from
Arthritis and other constant pains that they normally experience. Headaches or stomachaches may be withdrawal symptoms from salt,
Sugar or caffeine.
After about seven to ten days of fasting, many of these symptoms may subside altogether. However, continuing aches and pains in certain parts of your body may mean continuous elimination of fatty tissue is still going on. This is not harmful, but rejoice that your physical body is working well. But, if you experience severe pain or swelling, you should stop fasting. Then, at whichever point of your fast, take precaution to break your fast slowly."
I think I am right on track!
Jay, I am ending day 5. Long way to go, but so excited! I intend on doing 30 days, or until hunger returns, I look forward to this detox process to continue!
One other thing, and this is why it surprised me. During my 10 day fasts, I never remember having this stiffness, but I welcome it now! Especially if I am really eliminating fatty tissue, lol. Woo Hoo!
