Hi Paula, IMHO all you need to do to learn how to fast is drink only juice and water for a few days. I always thought I couldn't do it until I tried, and it was easy. Was only hungry a little the first day. After that it was only that I missed the enjoyment of eating. Was not hungry and amazingly my energy level increased almost daily. My 1st was only for 3 days. Now I do 5 or 6 day fasts once a month. Weight is coming down and I feel great. Again, I have never been hungry after the 1st day and I drink mostly water. Some juice.
