First day, first question: when the bottle says “take on an empty stomach,” how long must the stomach remain empty?
In the interest of full disclosure, I’m not giving up coffee. There are limits, and I don’t think my relationships would remain intact with that much detox. It’s not as if I can lock myself in a room. I usually drink between four and five cups a day. I reduced it to three today. I’ll keep trying to reduce.
Also, because while I DO want my body to be purified, I also want it to be smaller. Full disclosure: weigh in at 152 lbs, with 32% body fat!!! (152, incidentally, is only 7 pounds more than I weighed when I got married 12 years ago … but the weight is noticeably redistributed.)
I woke up, took my required pills (7) on an empty stomach. Watered the garden, made coffee, drank coffee and water. After about an hour, I ate a banana and a fresh Pennsylvania peach. YUMMMMM. I just got a call from my grandmother. She made my favorite soup (which contains Portuguese sausage). This is the balance. How do I tell Gram I can’t eat the soup??
