there always has to be someone alittle different (that does not follow the rules :) and that would be me regarding food. I usually take the Epsom Salts late, since I'm always too nauseous the morning after to take them early. So I take the salts around 9 and 11, and then early afternoon I eat a nice, big solid-food meal. Yeah, I probably shouldn't 'a said anything because I don't really follow "the rules" in regards to this.
