So Netav you're doing one tonight? I'm on for tomorrow! I must admit I have cheated a bit here and there too! I drink water (or mc lemonade) up until about 2 or 3 hours before the first epsom drink. (oh my) Then, in the morning, if I take the 2nd Epsom Salt drink I drink water right after it (well, maybe wait 15 minutes...) Then start right in to eating, if I feel hungry. (gasp) It seems to work fine for me!
