A Brief Word On Cranberry Juice

It looks like the hardest part of this whole fast is not going to be avoiding food, but forcing myself to down eight glasses of this cran juice over the course of the day. How do I put this delicately...It tastes like a mixture of antelope piss and elephant shit. The recipe is a concoction of water, unsweetened cranberry juice, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, orange juice, lemon juice, and Steiva which is an all-natural sweetener that costs six friggin' dollars for a box. I guess the Steiva helps fight back the bitterness of the cranberry juice, but it's kinda like sprinkling sugar on a dog turd. This is going to be a lot harder than I imagined.

was there some reason for the cranberry juice that couldn't have been satisfied by grape, orange, or any other juice that doesn't taste like shit?

i should disclose that i've been down this road before multiple times and have never made it more than 2/3 of a day. i used juicy juice fruit punch (it's still 100% juice), and drank about 8oz every hour. within the first six hours, you will experience intense diarrhea. ENJOY!
