7th day of my fast.

Hi, I've been lurking around this forum for a while but decided to join today. I am currently on the seventh day of my fast. I am primarily sticking to water, although, I do drink a cup or two of coffee a day with Splenda, and creamer (seems to kill hunger for me). Also, I allow myself a few 0 calorie drinks.

Everything has gone amazingly well. My only concern is my family's lack of understanding, and their quick assumption that fasting is dangerous. I have set no end goals for myself. I am just taking it day by day.

A few things I'd like to add is that my energy levels are surprisingly high. Although, I do get weak after walking for long periods of time. I can't seem to get interested in studying, but perhaps that is more in line with my natural aversion to homework!

Nonetheless, whether my current fast continues or not I trust that I will continue to attempt longer fasts.

Good luck everyone!

Oh,I almost forgot, for women who have experience, is it common to start your period early? I'm about two weeks early. I suppose it is a sign of detox, but will you reassure me please? Thanks.
