Hi Melissa,

My longest water fast so far has been 6 days. Days 1-3 seem to be the toughest. Hunger pains seem to go away after day three. I don't know how long you have prepared before you tried to water fast, but what helped me was to eat clean for about two weeks. NO soft drinks, no fried foods, no processed sugar, no refined flour. Mostly vegatables, fruit, nuts, seeds, soy, hard boiled eggs, some cheese, and fish.

After eating clean, I began a juice fast. I made it 8 days or so. Dropped 10 lbs. Ate clean for another week. Started a water fast and made it 6 days. Dropped 14 lbs or so.

Keep it up. No shame in starting over.
