It does get tiring after a while. It's almost like you have to disconnect from the pleasure of eating during the time of the Master-Cleanse and reconnect afterward. I remember feeling the way you did on my first Master-Cleanse (went for 12 days) but I managed to do a 21-day Master-Cleanse this year, so keep trying. I think any length of cleanse is great (10 days plus, that is) but it is good to experiment.

Ya, I actually started to gag on it. But, I tried leaving out the cayenne and drinking it separately. I did this by getting a shot glass of water and adding the cayenne to that, then tossing it like a shot. There was a couple of times where if just squeezed the lemon and drank it, tossed the shot, then enjoyed 2 tblsps of wonderful maple syrup sloooowwlly. THEN drank a big glass of the mineral water. It made a huge difference for me.

10 days is GREAT!! Be proud of yourself for getting there. And remember this is not supposed to be torture. You can always come back and do the cleanse again.
Best,
