text: I tried it and I did feel great.  It completely got rid of my appetite.  The only thing is that I put in more maple syrup than was in the recipe and that is the reason that after twelve days I only lost 2 pounds.  But I did not do it to lose weight.  I did it for the cleansing value.  It was remarkable that I never felt edgy or out of sorts. Whenever I was feeling a little hungry I drank another glass.  It really felt good and since it was the first time that I have ever fasted in all of my 50 years I think that I was a great experience which I will continue to do on a quarterly basis.  If I ever want to skip a meal it is very effective and does not cause any negative side effects that I experienced.  Try it you'll like it. I did.
