Re: First day fast gave a surprising result...

Thanks for that stp,I did google and found that gout can be stirred up by fasting,from uric acid that crystallises in the joints.I knew what gout was from when my doctor explained what my symptoms meant,but had no idea fasting could stir it up.Haha my Wii says Im just overweight now so that initial water loss was quite the thing to encourage me...to keep on at it.I am thinking of going vegetarian after the fast so as not to further burden my body :)
