Update: Day 35 of my first ever water fast

Update: Day 35

Still going strong. Been feeling very light headed but it's manageable by resting. My tongue is still white and water doesn't taste very nice, a good sign I'm still detoxing. I've been getting sporadic hunger pains. They come quite suddenly and intensely but disappear after a short while. I chalk that up to fatigue since sleeping is quite difficult, I get about 4 hours a night. On Day 32 I had a bowel movement which I thought was so strange. This long into the fast I assumed my colon would be empty but alas it wasn't. It wasn't a large BM it was literally one small stool but nevertheless I was shocked. Is this normal?

All in all 40 days seems very doable and a huge milestone. I don't think I've felt true hunger yet. I've felt stomach rumbling and growling and an extreme desire to break the fast but those feelings go as quickly as they come so I don't think that's true hunger.

Anyway, that's it for now. Thank you for staying tuned. Good luck on all your journeys towards good health.

Take care,

Adalam :) Tweet
