How long did was your longest fast? Did you have good results?

Oh goodness, well...the first time i did a cleanse i lasted two days.
the second time i did the full ten and then went back to my regular diet, which is pretty darned good but needed some fine tuning. then this year i got whammo'd with cancer/cancer scares/hysterectomy/ruptured appendix/colonoscopy/blablabla...so i returned to the paleo diet since i know from past experience that when i eat paleo i feel a bajillion times better. right now i am juicing carrots for breakfast and lunch and then eating an 80/20 paleo dinner. i don't do it at all for weight issues - solely for digestion and health issues, so the improvement i notice is in my gut, sleeping habits and energy levels.
my partner is doing the primal diet because it includes dairy and she tolerates that much better than i do. i hadn't heard of the primal diet until we met friends for dinner over the holidays. it basically eschews all wheat and gluten and our friend Leah lost 35lbs in just 4 months of being on it. she looks amazing!
once you get through the detox phase (days 1-3) and your body gets adjusted to not eating solids, if you can add a little bit of exercise you will see much quicker results. Even just a brisk 30-45 minute walk will do the trick.
the title of that film was horrible but then again so was the state of his health. ack! i wish everyone would watch it!!
