yeah I know what you mean... i am down now to two cups of coffee in the a.m. but it's difficult... I LOVE it! I understand that for every oz of diuretic you drink you shoud drink an oz of water, and that does not contribute to the '1/2 your body weight in oz' total. I agree... sometimes it is not worth the extra caffiene just to have to go to the bathroom any more than i already do!
What i was thinking about earlier is the dr. Natura reccommendatin to drink NO MORE than 64 oz. I am not sure why this is, except that they say it can interfere with the work of the fiber... maybe make it too loose so that it does not swell and pull of the gunk. Oh well... i seem to be OK with the 72 oz for now (more on dry days... I am now visiting family in Tucson and i feel like a raisin!)
