The best 'secret' might be to Water Fast until you just can't go on any longer, then 'break' with something Healthy....not junk food. When the anxiety has been addressed, start back on your Water Fast......WY

Hi WY!
To answer your question, every body is different with how they fast..and with that being said, I think every one who is trying to fast comes up with their own little 'techniquet to get them through the fast faster. With me, it all depends on my surroundings. Whenever I have wanted to fast before, I made sure I did it when my family was away on vacation or something, I had the house to myself and wasn't tempted by mom's cooking or my little brother trying to tease me with food (he means well lol)
I just stay in my room and buy a lot of books to read and just do little things to keep me entertained so I won't get bored. I've read in one of your posts that you can't make it past day 1..I'm not sure if you meant that sarcastically or you really can't? What makes it hard for you..is it because you get hungry or what exactly? I would love to know more about you and why you're struggling because maybe it's something I've been through and I would love to try and help out.

In my experience, the more toxic the body then the harder it is to maintain the fast, but with a body that is virtually, or actually free of toxemia, it is an enjoyable and uplifting experience, physically, mentally and spiritually.

The hard part for many can also be the hunger pangs which kick in very early in the fast, but once ketosis is in full swing after day 3 to 4, this suppresses the appetite and is far more bearable than say an elimination diet, or a reducing diet aimed at losing weight for example.

The first fast of any great length can be an ordeal because of toxemia, and the consequent symptoms of elimination, but once this has been accomplished, subsequent fasts are as I described above, as long as living and dietary habits are in accord with Natural Hygienic principles based on our physiological needs.
