Re: True Hunger...

Mousclick,
Thin or underweight people can experience the symptoms of what Dr Fuhrman describes as "Toxic Hunger" as described in my previous post and where that can be just as toxemic as someone who is fat or overweight: ones weight has very little bearing on the levels of toxemia.
I know this from personal research but also from my own experience on my very first prolonged fast where at the outset I was only eight and three quarter stones for someone who is 5 feet 8 inches and of a medium frame.
The symptoms of detox lasted mostly throughout and predictably mostly at the beginning but also at the end where I had spitting crises and nausea with sickness/vomiting at around the 21st day.
I had high-level toxemia brought about by a childhood of wrong living habits and enervation.

It depends on what you really mean by a "healthy and well-nourished thin person"....they would experience the same detox crises and toxic hunger just as anyone else would and where after ketosis has set in within the first few days any toxic hunger would be diminished.

As Fuhrman has said it is very rare for anyone to have really experienced true hunger, regardless of their weight because of the SAD: eating processed and adulterated foods and a lifestyle that only serves to create enervation or lowered nerve energy with accompanying toxemia.

It is well-known that thin and grossly underweight persons tolerate fasting more easily than a person who is overweight, and where they have been known to fast safely, and with added benefit for up to 25 days or more.

Thin or fat makes very little if any difference at all, and where both will experience the genuine return of hunger when and after their food reserves are almost if not exhausted.........however long that may be. Each case should be judged on merit on an individual basis.
