I had asked you this on post for your fast but saw no answer to it. Didn't you look at your tongue? When you had true hunger was your tongue coated or clear?
It is possible that you did not not run out of reserves and still had some left. If you flip a coin it can come up heads or tails. So what you mentioned was one possibility. The other possibility is that you did not run out of reserves but all the toxins in your body were gotten rid of so there was no reason to fast anymore.
Say you are pouring some juice into a glass. Now say that it gets full but you keep pouring it. It will spill all over the place. So there is no need to keep pouring if the glass is full. So your body may have (or may not have) gotten rid of all the toxins so it was time to stop the fast.
Ideally the body has gotten rid of all the toxins before his reserves run out when he has true hunger and the tongue can help determine that.
What can also happen that is not ideal is that body still has more toxins to get rid of but the person has run out of reserves. So he has to stop even though there is still more work for the fast to do.
So do you know which of the above was the case? Do you know if your tongue was clear or coated when you had true hunger? An M.D. was fasting a fat guy. It took 8 months for the guy to run out of the reserves of something and he died. He did not run out of fat. Dr Fuhrman never fasts someone over 50 days.
