I started a fast.....Is this normal?

I started an aloe vera fast on Friday morning. For the first 3 days, you only have a 10 oz protein drink and 12 oz of aloe vera gel. Suprisingly, I made it all the way to today without any substantial hunger pains and had so much energy, I exercised everyday. I thought fasting was supposed to make you weak and really hungry? And, to top it off, I dropped 6 pounds...I wonder if I am messing up my metabolism?

I do start adding 500 calories into my diet tomorrow, but I have to continue with the protein drinks and aloe vera gel.

I fast once a month as a part of my yoga practice.The aloe vera keeps the acid in your stomach from aggravating your stomach walls since it is not used in digesting.The hunger pangs are not hitting you because the shake is filling with a high Glycemic index.Usually when one fasts,all the yingest is water,believe it or not after the third day your hunger pains will disapear.are you messing up your metabolism.....yes and no.As long as your body does not go into starvation mode you will be alright
