All liquid diet? Would that help to simulate starving conditions?

No. some ingredients sway blue, others are not safe prepregnancy.

What that is there, is a very strong laxative. My personal opinion (take for whatever it's worth) is that is a scam. Makes a person have to go #2 like nobody's business so it seems like you're getting rid of toxins when really you're just pooping a lot

psyllium, senna, cascara, aloe, slippery elm, inulin are all very powerful laxatives. 90% of the other stuff makes it taste good or is a preservative.

Your personal opinion is worth a lot and very appreciated! So, since my gullible self has one package (7 days worth) already and you just have this as a supplement - a poop supplement apparently - so you're still eating the full 1200-1400 calories of food too....would this be harmful to have in the one week leading up to AF? To kind of cleanse the slate, so to say?

If you're interested in doing a liquid/fast diet for health (not while pg or breastfeeding though!) I found that just good ol 100% juice will do the job at probably a fraction of the cost of what you paid for that stuff. You will feel miserable though and have 0 energy for a few days.

No swayer should EVER drop below 1200 cals for any reason. That is the lowest caloric intake safe for pre-pregnancy.

Whoops sorry I definitely worded that wrong. Thanks for the correction

OK, thanks everyone Didn't end up mattering this month anyways......dh felt so crappy on his presurgery liquid diet he wanted nothing to do with sex at all Guess we will have to wait until he is feeling up to it after surgery.

Yes as long as you are 110% sure you are not pregnant. I also want to be doubly and triply sure you are getting adequate sodium and potassium intake before you go that route, because if you ahve been following an LE or IG diet and have been limiting sodium and potassium, diarrhea may send your electrolytes seriously out of whack badly and could make you very ill.

I'm not totally sure you can be getting enough sodium and potassium while eating 1200-1400 cals, so I would lay in a supply of Gatorade or similar drink and use that liberally if you go this route.

A couple of the ingredients may sway slightly blue but I think it would be ok leading into AF.
