Hello, you have to do the swf on an empty stomach, that is the only way it really works. This is my second time on the MC. When you have top cook for others, its best to have already takendone lemonade and some water, so you won't get any cravings. I started yesterday, but I have to start over because I had to have a slice of pizza. Let's stay motivated, the first time after the 3rd day I was good, we just have to make it to that point.
