I tried this exact same fast last year (plus 1 litre of salt water in the mornings) and it was a great experience. I was also pleasantly surprised that the mixture tasted so good. I believe that it's the cayenne that's the actual appetite suppressant, but not 100 on that. I also thought that 5 days without solid food would be extremely difficult but it wasn't so bad and after that 10 days actually seems doable. Perhaps the greatest take away was just the self-control aspect and realizing that it's just a matter of being consistent with replacing bad habits with good ones. Thanks for sharing, you reminded me that I also want to do a full 10 cleanse in the near future, cheers!
