My pulp-reaction has been a little different. I have used a bit of pulp all 10 days (day 10 today) and I havn't had hunger problems at all ... until today. But my husband - who is fasting with me - had pulp in his the first two days and the hunger drove him nuts. He's been pulp-free and a happy-camper since. Weird, huh? But better try it without, so it won't be an issue at all. Unsaited hunger is no fun!
