Good for you! We've done shorter cleanses, but I've never done anything quite this comprehensive. It's great to have your perspective on the effects, benefits, and disappointments. Thanks so much for sharing! Oh, wow- I can’t believe it’s been three weeks already. Good for you! We’ve done shorter cleanses, but I’ve never done anything quite this comprehensive.

Wow, 21 days already?! I've been following your cleanse on twitter and although I'm sure it didn't necessarily go by as quickly for you, it seems to have gone by pretty fast which, from an outsiders perspective is rather encouraging in case we want to try something like this. I remember cutting way back on salt and then finding many things extremely salty where I hadn't noticed before. What an accomplishment, congratulations :) Great job! Wow, 21 days already?!

Did D. lose any weight from his partial version, ooc? I was just reading part of this post aloud to A. and your older nephew said "But you should have cake everyday, with sprinkles on top!" So that's the 3.5 year old viewpoint, who, fwiw, eats no store-bought desserts but does get some home-baked good once a week or so. Sigh. Even the 8-month old starts reaching out his hands longingly when I make brownies. There may just be a familial sweet tooth which we just keep in moderation. When Aunt Redwing made me a family dessert recipe book seven years ago, she included a whole page that summed up to: "I tried making all these recipes with carob and soy and vegan ingredients. It was a disaster. Use real butter and cream and eggs and chocolate for some things." So I am unsurprised that your own experience bears out the same message. Congrats for sticking with it!

Yes, the delivery of the message is important. I'm sure I've been guilty myself at times of being over zealous (hence the "Food Police" title at home). It's a fine line to walk when you are passionate about something, so I try to be understanding of other's beliefs. Still, I don't want to be hit over the head with it or judged for my own.

I think that's true only in so far as sugar gives us energy so maybe it's in our DNA to like it. The problem I think that that we are conditioned from birth to like the taste. It's a stealth ingredient in everything and it's really hard to break the cycle. Carrie- I don’t know about being biologically hard wired to like sugar.
