That's great!! No, I never did it-but read about it and thought about it. I did a cleanse for only 3 days before. I'm really not comfortable going w/o eating with all the meds and my health now. I've heard such good things about it though. Wow-you went a long time w/o food!! I guess it gets easier after the first 2 days..but I don't think I could ever go 2 whole weeks. See, you have willpower and determination.
RE: whole foods...did you ever go to this site? It's my favorite:

And this is a hot pink breakfast smoothie--it is so yummy:

But fresh dates are expensive-but they make it good.
I found that site a few months ago, it got me excited about green smoothies and more healthful eating. I have an old blender-the quality is ok, but on that site they show the Blendtec. I think it would make a good difference. It's $400, but if you got it on sale somewhere, you could probably get it for $300. I think it's worth it if you are going to a whole foods diet. I plan to buy it someday.
Oh-more tips. I read a few times that coconut oil is the best for your health and actually helps with weight loss. Green smoothie lady has it on her site. I got a whole bucket, unrefined for about $40 from here, and it will probably last a year:

Well, sorry if you already know all this stuff. Your getting there. Baby steps. Good luck with your cleanse :))
