12 days and still hungry.

I am on day 12 of an extended fast for health. I am still hungry. I really didn't expect this. I fasted before and hunger stopped on day 3. This time the hunger on day 4 was so intense I began to think I couldn't do this, but I just kept reminding myself of my goals and got through it. The hunger now is more manageable but still uncomfortable.
I guess I am looking more for encouragement than advice that this is normal. My present thoughts are:
1. It's Candida or other toxic things clamoring for refeeding.
2. It's an indication of just how toxic I am.
3. It's just the way this fast is going to be. Since every fast is different, this one is going to be miserable.
Also, about day 7 the entire household (including me) developed cold/flu/allergy symptoms: stuffiness, cough, sore throat. Due to this, I am weaker, more easily tired, and sleeping more than usual.

This is a reply to # 2,411,352During my first fast, which was about 5 months ago, I felt like I was hungry the whole time. After doing a bunch of research, I found out that it wasn't really hunger - it was food cravings. On top of that, I learned that my stomach kept feeling queasy and I heard a bunch digestive sounds because I most likely had a fatty liver. With the fat around my liver, my body kept producing bile - thinking that it needed to digest fatty foods.
I'm really glad that you are sticking with the fast - it really helps in removing toxins that probably would never leave the body with other methods. And I'm really sorry to hear that you got sick during the fast - I hope you are recovered now...hopefully, the cold/flu made you feel less hungry.
