Thank you everybody. I went last night and drank water. Before ordering I explained I was detoxing for some health problems and told them I realized too late that I couldn't just "eat". They all had questions, but I assured them it was all good and that it was healthy and safe. It all went well. So I am carrying on! Today is day 11, so in 10 days I have lost 23 pounds, down from 149 to 126, and am having major detox. I have mild asthma and I believe my body is working on my lungs. Major pain in my back where my lungs are. So I want to try and go as long as I can until that pain subsides. However we are leaving on a cruise February 13th.
So new question: assuming I make it another week, is four days enough to break an 18 day water fast? Meaning I eat on the 5th day? Or do you experts suggest longer. I could stop at day 16 and take 6 days, eating on the 7th day.
