Re: First Timer- the night before?

By now you should be starting Day 1...My advice is to drink plenty of lemonade and plenty of water.  My routine tends to be approximately an hour after I drink the SWF, I pour myself a 32 ounce glass of water and drink that while I'm getting ready for work (takes me about an hour and a half to get it all down).  As soon as I get to work in the morning, I pour myself a 20 ounce glass of water and drink that.  When it is gone and I start to feel "hungry", I have a 20 ounce glass of lemonade.  Then I get another 20 ounce glass of water.  I alternate all day between lemonade and water.  This ensures that I'm getting adequate water.

Never trust a fart while on the fast!  If you feel one coming, get to a bathroom!

Start out slow with the cayenne - start with a pinch and over a day or two period work up to 1/10 of a teaspoon and more if you can handle it.  I am up to 3/8 of a tsp per 10 ounce glass.  If you mix your lemonade up ahead of time (not recommended, but sometimes necessary for those of us who have jobs or are on the go), don't add the cayenne to the drink until just before you drink it.  Cayenne will get hotter as it sits in the lemonade.

Hopefully you don't have anything too stressful during your first couple of days.  You will not feel the greatest and it is usually helpful if you can rest and get sleep.

Good luck to you!  We're here if you need us!
