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.
