Re: Ended water fast of 50 days.
Congratulations NoMoreMS!
50 days is awesome.
"I now truly believe I felt true hunger days ago. The hunger and cravings I felt were in my mouth and throat(a numbness and craving), but because some said it would get more intense I pressed on. I feel true hunger has a different intensity for different people and recommend anyone who is feeling the numb sensation in throat and mouth with significant weight loss to end your fast. True hunger was not a 1,000 times worse as some suggested. "
I am going to keep this in mind.
"... and I realized my multiple sclerosis will probably be healed after refeeding after reading dr.shelton."
At one point you felt it was 80% healed. What % now?
"As for refeeding I am eating a little of everything right now, some say its not wise but I didn't undertake fast to lose weight. I have had oranges,peanuts,almonds,prunes, rice,soups,fish,etc. all in very small amounts chewing till liquid."
Gently breaking the fast with the most digestively simple foods is more about being kind to your long slumbering digestive system than the secondary concern of avoiding fat gain. If you are concerned about hurrying the weight back on, keep in mind that you will likely have about 10 pounds of water weight back in your body within 2-3 weeks.
"No problems or issues with my stomach."
With what you are eating day 1 after 50 days of water only, going against even the least conservative conventional wisdom in the literature about how to properly break a fast, this comes as a very big surprise to me. Count your blessings :).
Congratulations again, but i am concerned about your aggressive diet!
