Thanks for your very welcome replies!
Interesting that hunger is felt in the throat and mouth,... that's where i would expect it to be instead of the stomach as many people believe. I have experienced salivation upon looking at delicious food, just like in the cartoons.
I'm on day 7 and obviously no where near true hunger!
I'll catch up on Herbet Shelton again...must be 20 times that I've read his works.
best to all,
