I know that feeling (wanting to eat). It is a very difficult thing to get past. I fasted for 8 days and had to give up. This was in Dec/07. I then only ate home made soups, baked potatoes and steamed veggies only. I started to fast again on Dec. 27th and this time I took Epsom Salts for the first 4 days. ( 1 tbls in water) The Epsom Salts apparently remove the acid from you stomach to stop the hunger pangs. I was so determined to get through this 40 day fast I thought even if I sleep for 40 days I will do this. Hope the Epsom Salts help if you try it. I believe eating is a habit we have to break. Good luck to you and just remember at the end of the fast you will feel wonderful. All the best.
