question for chrisb1

i get so many different feedback, different responses, when I research online, everything is always different information so I was hoping you could help out.

Today is day 10 of my water fast. First, I've done 3 day fasts a couple months ago before doing this longer fast and I have done juice fasting in the past. I was planning on doing a 20 day Water Fast but because I am traveling over seas I know I will not be able to handle the stress of layover and long flight so I will end early on day 15 or 16.

On day one I weighed 158...today...day 10 I weigh 146. I did not lose as much as everyone else who seems to lose up to 5 pounds on their first couple of days...I only lose 1 pound a day even at the start (only lost 2 pounds on one day only). was told it was cause I have a lot of toxins...then I read somewhere (I forget as I as reading shelton's info as well from a faster who directed me to it) that the more toxin the more you lose and the less toxin the less you lose. then something that if you have more lean muscles you lose slowly...I'm confused with all the information and not sure why I'm moving so slowly.

on the other hand I lost the desire to smoke at day 4...which is good. my tongue was heavily coated...but now it is not heavily coated. And today...I am having hunger. I am worried because i been reading also and from posts that if your tongue clears up and you begin to get hungry that you are going into starvation mode and must break the fast. but how can I be going in starvation mode? I have plenty of fat still to feed me. The hunger sensation seems to be getting heavier and heavier. My stomach even growled a couple of times...and made a little noise...that embarrassing noise you get when you're in a quiet room and it sounds like your stomach just spoke. I have not had one bowel movement at all. I have been on water only...nothing else has gone through my lips but water. Not even when I had migraines...absolutely nothing. Why am I beginning to get so hungry? Is my body going into starvation mode even though I have fat left over? Should I end the fast? I'm a little worried cause I don't know what I should do. I know I have plenty of fat left...but I also don't want to end up starving myself...and my tongue is clearing up...even though I have a very nasty taste in my mouth and water is beginning to taste really nasty to me now.

I am 4' 11"
sw 158 lbs
cw 146 lbs

any information would be so much appreciated..or direction to a book or article
