Like you said, dust yourself off and keep going which is something i have done many times. the whole purpose of the mc is to detoxify yourself. it also teaches us a new way of life and eating. it is geared to not only cleanse but to start a new way of eating. you probably will see or feel a difference from the mc after 4 days but what is the purpose of trying to detox to turn around and put toxic back into the body. that is not doing the body a good deed. but not to worry. just start over from day one and be strong. its all about mind control. when we think we are hungry, we're really not. its mind over matter. when i get hungry or temptation kicks in, i drink my juice. also another thing i do is put some in a cup and freeze it and eat it like an icee. today is my first day so we can start together. hang in there.
