Thanks for the responses everybody!
Well, during the "raw food" trial, I honestly never cheated. Of course I was tempted to, but I somehow satisfied myself by either eating more fruits or some combinatric variants (such as different fruits chopped and thrown into a bowl of milk with some turmeric powder in it, which is a pretty healthy concoction).
And, yeah, the milk was completely raw. I guess you have to boil it to kill some unwanted bacteria, but I consumed it raw anyway.
cnwoods, yeah, I guess that I should try to analyse what might be the lynchpin for me, although currently I suspect I did get rid of it during the raw trial, because I felt so much deprivation (because I've been eating rather hot spicy curries all my life), and mentally I'd try to visualise being raw-fooded as a very optimal healthy fresh active kind of thing and cooked food as some dead and dreadful thing to eat, so that kind of helped.
Chris, could you elaborate on the 7/10-day fast?
