Hiya Anoosh, the first thing I’d like to say is you can do this. Last month I completed 25 days and it was simply the best thing I’ve ever done, I’m literally still reaping the benefits, mentally, physically and weight loss.
A couple of tips if I may. Firstly, this should be relatively easy, I say relatively, because you are going to be challenged at some point. However, you should actually never feel proper hunger if you drink enough water. I never got any cravings or hunger provided I was fully hydrated. So if you get thoughts/cravings about food then your probably not OPTIMALLY hydrated. So to make this much easier, you have to almost drink water, a little excessively through this process, ie before your even a fraction dehydrated. What is essentially happening is because your not OPTIMALLY hydrated, your body is not getting at your fat stores efficiently. When fully hydrated, your body and mind is receiving all it needs from your fat stores, so their is no signal to the brain 
for hunger. You will feel amazing because your body fat is a MUCH better fuel source than food,much cleaner and stable energy source. Think hydration, hydration, hydration and try and stay conscious you need to drink loads of water.
Now, I still reckon if you do that, during the 11 days your mind is going to test you. Can you pass the test? Of course you can 
This will come as probably feeling a bit iffy, a bit irritable, not quite yourself. Try and recognise this feeling for what it is, it’s temporary and I promise you it will pass and the next day you will feel even better. It’s just your mind in a habit of being fed and eating and it’s wanting to test you, do you want to do this? I say go for it Anoosh because once you do and pass this test, you will be a stronger person because you are actually more than your mind. By pushing through and ignoring your mind, it’s not your mind that’s In control, it’s YOU and you have now tapped into and realised your real power that lies within you.
Hope this makes some sense and helps. Good luck
