Re: Hunger vs. Appetite Question for experienced fasters
"I am on day 10 and for the past three days I have been feeling hungry of and on. My stomach is growling away. I can not say that I really have an appetite, however, I do feel hungry quite often. The feeling of hunger seems to be growing stronger daily."
Hi Happy dreamer,
This doesn't happen with everybody, but it is common enough and sounds nothing like a return to genuine hunger which would come but not go and which would not manifest itself in the belly as ordinary hunger does... and... it will be so powerful as to begin to drive you insane until you break the fast.
"Still getting heartburn, which seems worse in the evenings".
I don't recall reading from your posts, are you drinking distilled water, or something with minerals? Not sure if the inorganic minerals would lend themselves to a higher risk of heartburn, but just checking.
" I have not consumed anything other that water and my thyroid meds, so I am sure that I have not reactivated hunger. I am also using 35% food grade Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) drops in my water, about 3 drops per cup of water every day ( up to 3 cups a day), which makes my mouth foamy, and so I need to spit often."
Will leave this one in the capable hands of Chrisb1, but wondering about the addition of anything but distilled water.
Nice work on 10 days, Best wishes as you continue.
