Later ....

Well we have survived the first day. We have both had 6 glasses of the lemon drink (2 tblspoons lemon juice, 2 tblspoons maple syrup and a dash of cayenne pepper). It is quite nice if you have it warm.

We shall be having our 3rd cup of laxative tea before we go to bed. Neither of us have suffered any effects of the tea yet.

We have had slight pangs of hunger and I have had several minor headaches over the day.

Julie had to cook the boys supper and that was the hardest part of the day for her. Looking at the food and not eating it.

I had to remind myself about 20 times that I was on this thing. You just can't believe how many times you think about food when you don't have it. Mostly out of habit I guess. Elevenses was really difficult to miss for me.
