I've read a few people drink a tea laxitive the night before in order to go in the morning. Salt water is still recommended in this case cause it kinda acts like 'drano' going through your system.

1) There's a lot of water that is pipe cleaning your insdies
2) The 'salt' in the saltwater acts as an abrasive to help things break down (think of it like liquid sandpaper)

And the salt water is something 'indigestible' by your body, that's why it goes straight down the #2 track - because on your all liquid diet, the lemonade doesn't take that route.

From what I understand after researching a night of eating to many habanero peppers, that the 'heat' can actually be good for your system. Hot foods are popular in a lot of cultures because they help 'burn?' some bad bacteria in your intestinal path. Too much can be bad for you, but it can even be used to help settle an upset stomach with some bad food.

The peoppers are measured in BTU's (heat index), and on the clease, the more BTUs you can take, the better it is for cleaning out your system.

yeah, it's funny how much cash you save when you're not buying lunch every day, and save some bucks on going out to eat at night - dare i say the 'po man's diet' :)

a bowl of chicken soup in the morning, with some juice during the day, then about half a pasta dish that night.

yeah, I guess I would change that to a minimum of 30 min, but an hour is safer.

you don't want to be caught on the bus in that situation... :)

I didn't ease out much either after 7 days and I was ok, but I feel I have a tough stomach.

And from what I've seen, you get about 2-4oz of lemon juice per lemon. You could also boil the water if you want to filter it.
