Re: are cravings possible on a fast?

"i dont feel hungry anymore but i got a craving for some watermellon? whats up with that and another thing what's up with this ketosis it comes and goes, is this supposed to happen?"

Dear Soyboricua,

Even in the complete absence of physical hunger, emotional cravings can be very strong, yes.  I don't know what's up with it, just that it is :).  Perhaps it is that our mind is more addicted to food than is our body.   Regarding ketosis that comes and goes, what makes you believe this is happening?  I very much believe from anything i have read that once ketosis begins it persists throughout the full remainder of the fast.
