When is a good time to start?

I have been using the herbal tea at night and like the results in the morning. I have also had some of the lemonade during the day and lowered my food but have not made the big step to begin an acutal fast. One reason is because I am afraid when "mother nature" may call. I am a teacher and if I get the urge during class, I can't just leave and sit on the toilet for 5-10-15 minutes. Is this what might happen? I guess I might have to wait until Christmas break for the first try. That just seems like a terrible time to begin a fast, during the Christmas and New Year season.

This is a reply to # 671,447Maybe try starting on a Saturday, when you can see how your system reacts to the salt water flush. I found that I had to get up earlier than usual, so I was not leaving the house with any unfinished business..
I agree, fasting over Christmas sounds difficult.
Good Luck!

MoreThis is a reply to # 671,450Does this mean that once I get into the actual fast, the bowel movements are pretty predictable and controled? If I get the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) overwith before I leave the house then the rest of the day should be pretty normal? Perhaps more frequent but not so urgent that I would have problems performing as a classroom teacher on a tight schedule?

MoreThis is a reply to # 671,453Let's see what experiences the others have had. Any more input anyone? I think it varies from person to person. I am new to this also.
Personally speaking, the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) did it's magic with in 1 hour for me. Others have said it took a little longer, but basically yes - when it was done, it was done. I only had 1 BM per day after that. But I did not use lax teas as I had no problems in helping the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) along.
So if you start on a Saturday when you don't teach (I assume) and then see how things go on Saturday and Sunday, you might get an idea of what your rhythm is.
Good luck and keep posting!

This is a reply to # 671,456Just a thought, but many of us don't start the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) until the second morning, so you may want to start on a Friday. Then you'd have Sat. and Sun. to get your body's timing figured out...

This is a reply to # 671,463It's nice to know that once you get started then there is a pattern that you can count on. I had pictured it as though you could have a BM at any time and at any place. Some posts even suggested that when you thought you might just be passing gas then look out......
Starting on a Friday with SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) on Saturday and Sunday seem like a great idea. Thanks.

This is a reply to # 671,453Hi! Congrats on planning to take this incredible step for your health!
When I used the SWF, I was always "finished" within 2-3 hours. So, like many others, I set the alarm for a few hours before I normally get up. I took it around 4 am. Then reset the alarm for 6 am, and was out the door by 7. I never did have any problems, and I have an hour drive to Sacramento. I was so worried the first time (I drive through a canyon - no restrooms for about 20 minutes), that I actually wore one of Great-Granny's incontinence pads - but I didn't need to. I can't believe now that I stressed so much about it.
My only problem with the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) is that only a little came out the first time. I gained 3 pounds water weight that day. But I just increased the salt measurement a little, and it worked well after that.
Best wishes to you for your successful fast, whenever you decide to do it!
