Re: End of day 11
Well, I'm happy that the pains are passing for you. Since I've had my own fair share of psychical trauma (full-contact martial arts will do that to you,) it's good to know they might bite me in the ass someday soon.
I think the story about the muscles being spared is true. The body is a very efficient organism and it will probably only start eating away muscle when left with no other resource (= when excess fat has gone.) They might become smaller (because of fat inside of them disappears.) But that's just what I've read. I'll look up the source and post it for you, so you can draw your own conclusions.
I'm planning on doing a salt water flush one of these days, but since I used the toilet yesterday, I'll wait a while.
I'm going to do the fast for 25 days (that's my plan; I've always wanted to pass the 21 day mark) but who knows? I'm just starting day 11. 21 is still very long, and since you're only one day ahead of me, let's join up together and share experiences. It might help us both out!
Good luck to you! Hold on, you're doing great.
