Cook properly at home the meals you take to
work.Vegetables,chicken,fish and liquids can be
carried in food containers and eaten at room
temperature.The microwave destroys food
values.Poorly prepared meals
will irritate the colon and delay healing.
If you are not eating cold water fish to get your omega-3 oil,use fish oil capsules.There are also many positive views on Google for drinking distilled.I have use distilled water for over 20 years and my health couldn't be better.The purpose of the diet is to prevent colon irritation.Many spring,bottled and tap water can have heavy concentrations of inorganic minerals(which your body cannot absorb and use anyway)and chemicals.
Any one of which can exacerbate an already irritated colon.Purified water is second best.Yes,cooking vegetables with distilled water does remove minerals and vitamins.That is the reason the diet instructions advise drinking the cooking water.Brown rice,barley and vegetables are excellent for colon healing and proper nourishment.Eat as many that you wish.Most people on the starting procedure have eaten a previous diet with little fiber(mostly processed foods).In this case,a gradual buildup to accustom the colon can prevent discomfort(gas etc).
