Yeah the craziest things have it man! I’m looking at all the ingredients now! Didn’t know about ketchup! So lame. I enjoy this cinnamon swirl bread in the AM for breakfast sometimes and it has high-fructose corn syrup, F. I never really drank soda/caffiene in the first place. I haven’t drank soda in years.

Nice, Jason. Glad to see you giving it a shot. I’ll get you up to 3 days one day!

No soda/caffiene was the first step in my positive dietary progression. I cut out basically all of my high-fructose corn syrup then. You do know ketchup (most) has high fructose corn syrup right?

Tom I tried it for 2 days to try and live life “in your shoes” to see what it was like. I’m a meatiterian though so 2 days is likely all that I WANT to do it for but you did influence me to try it.

Right now I’m on that NO high fructose corn syrup diet, feelin’ good!

Darby, Congrats!

Twelve Days is a big deal. Steve only lasted three days his first time around.

I’m positive that you can do 30 days straight this year if you really want it, but don’t forget doing one day here and there is excellent too.
You do 4 raw days a month that’s 48 days for the year!

Thanks again for reading and sharing your comment.

I’ve lasted 12 days my first go around thanks to learning from Steve Pavlina’s trial. Although I had alot more to learn (such as taking it slow) the time seemed effortless. I believe I could have done the whole 30 but a potluck took me down. Lesson learned: as they say in AA, if you do not want to slip, don’t go where it is slippery. I plan to learn much more and modify the trial a little. I am going for 30 days this year!

Yes, yes indeed.
Part of every path is the discovery of each step.

Great post.
