This time, for 10 days&#8230; er, not counting the unfortunate hot dog I had to eat on Day 6.

Day 2: Sara passing out on the bathroom floor in front of me.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I was hungry for the first couple of days, but by the second half of the fast, I felt hunger only in very short (5 minutes) tolerable bursts, just once or twice a day.  Surprisingly easy to bear.  The cravings, on the other hand, were harder to bear.  I just missed the <em>taste<\/em> of certain foods; oddly enough, they were mostly meats.  Not a single craving for ice cream (my perennial favorite), but I was seeing lamb chops in my sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Most memorable moment? Day 2: Sara passing out on the bathroom floor in front of me.  Had I not been there to catch her, she very well could have smashed her head on the sink\/toilet\/floor.  Ugh.  (Note to all juice fast detractors: she more than likely fainted due to her strong pain killers and dehydration, not due to the juice fast.)<\/p>\n<p>Without further ado, I present my food log:<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h4>Sunday &#8211;
