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.

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?

Hey there Ginkgo,

Yes i kind of vanished from the site for a few months there. In response to your question, this is what i had mentioned above:

So even after these 40 days (10+30), though my body was amazingly cleaner as evidenced in many ways and perhaps very close to being completely cleansed, it was still not entirely done with the work.
