I've also been kicking this fast around for a couple of weeks. I 'm not sure yet. I understand this is a fast NOT a diet. I haven't been able to get to a health food store to get the maple syrup or the fresh organic lemons, so I guess I'll use that as my excuse for now. I know I can do about 2 weeks, I've done that years ago w/ no food, just water.I absolutely do not want to do the salt water flushes that they recommend.Should I or should'nt I ??
