I tried out the 5 day cleanse. My main goal was to clean out my system of 30 years of junk. I was surprised to find how quickly my caffeine cravings went away. The only food I had with the plan was plain unsalted almonds. It was tough to cut my daily calorie intake, but the results were worth it. Now that I am done with the cleanse I have lost 15 lbs (now sitting at exactly my ideal weight for my height!) and while I don't avoid sugar entirely, I am very conscious of what I'm putting my body all of a sudden. I don't crave sugar like I used to, and I love it. My habits have been changed for the better.
