Part of an ongoing series where two staff reporters, who wish to remain anonymous for reasons that will soon become clear, navigate 10 days of purging toxins — and everything else — from their bodies.
We're proud to announce that we've survived eight hours of the Lemonade Diet and almost 24 hours without food.
How was Day 1? Well, calling it miserable and difficult would be an understatement.
Both of us felt exhausted and hungry all day. We were tempted by everything, from the smell of the bread aisle at Ralph's to the hot dog vendors on Vermont Avenue.
A friend who was trying to do the cleanse with us lasted all of four hours ("But," he maintains, "it felt like eight"). He broke his fast by eating, in front of us: an apple, a bowl of soup, bread, three biscuits, a turkey sandwich and a handful of Cheez-Its. Jealous.
We're both doubting whether we can even make it until Wednesday.
But on the bright side, we didn't cheat! And if that saltwater flush was any indication, we certainly eliminated some toxins.
Now, some individual reactions:
