Re: Day 9 of a 21 day water fast

Wow, I have never had hunger pains after about day three. Although I am currently fasting and on day 2 today. I have not felt hungry at all. Even the mental hunger has not been a problem as it was in my previous fasts.

I hope it gets better for you, I have never heard of anyone fasting on water alone to have problems with hunger after a few days, unless of course it was just mental hunger, which some people deal with for quite some time especially if their diet prefast was one of a SAD diet.

After losing quite a bit of weight, and changing my diet to one of more fruits and vegetables and some lean meats like shrimp and various fish. Discarding sugars and processed foods. The fasts have become easier and easier, although I have noticed the weight loss is not as great. But I feel like the closer you get to your goal, the slower the weight comes off, not to mention that living on a SAD diet... you have so much built up junk in your body, and retain large amounts of water, so all of that is the first thing to go when a fast first starts.

Best of luck to you, I sincerely hope it gets better.
