24 hours and stable. I saw your announcement after coming home with ingredients for a recipe I was too lazy to prepare so I had a bowl of ravioli. I get bored in the kitchen if I don't have an appetite. I stole a sugar cube from the pile the kid was using for math practice after two hours but haven't cheated since. Was hungry in the morning but it passed. Also felt out of sorts until I finally got a coffee in early afternoon, which relieved a mild headache. Feel almost normal now, maybe with a slightly elevated (from the usual high) snacking instinct.
I have a headache. My wife went grocery shopping. So much good food in the house. It would be so easy to justify a banana. I had a piece of sugar-free gum this afternoon but other than that, just water. You going to go for three days as well?
My goal was to beat you or go 24 hours, whichever came first. But I am feeling okay, so I'll shoot for another day. Giving up a bike ride to take the train to work is a sacrifice, but I still logged 11,500 steps today. I really enjoyed a lemon-lime soda (ingredients carbonated water and natural flavor, all-zero nutrition facts). Hopefully that isn't a deal-breaker. I don't think artificial sweetener should count either, but will stick to black coffee to honor the detox pseudoscience.

-This is about you and what is a deal breaker to you not me. There are LOTS of things that I enjoy that I'm forgoing. That's about 90% of this for me. It's about doing without. Hell, I even forgo putting lemon in my water.
I agree, that's the challenge. I don't envy you the prospect of eating carefully long term. Even three days of self control looks tough. There is a jar of almonds here that keeps catching my eye. You have grit though. I believe if you make attainable goals you'll hit your target.It's about doing without.
