i eat a salad, usually romaine though i like spinnach, fruit of some kind, lately watermelon, and i usually have a few bites of what is being eaten around the house here. i dont eat a significant amount of anything cooked unless i am out of everything else. i have no hard and fast rules these days, but i keep going in the direction of all raw, all fruit and nuts, and all organic. there are some fruits that i wont eat that arent organic, like commercial nuts, apples, berries and grapes. they are some of the most contaminated fruits out there. citrus, pineapple, coconut and bananas are not that bad toxin-wise. this info is from our own government! and i have experience with apples that were certainly sprayed with fluoride pesticide and then sealed with wax. i ate cases of them one winter in oregon thinking i was doing good for my body and i have never been the same again. my thyroid is still not completely back on line.

Truthfully, I don't think it matters that much. My afternoon pulls (after plenty of daily liquids) are usually much more productive than the morning one. I found if I do not do my normal cup or two of warm water before anything else in the morning (including pulling) I will not be as regular as I normally am...pulling is definitely dehydrating I have noticed. Even if I drink water afterwards it can upset my schedule. A cup of warm water first thing will rehydrate the kidneys and help cleanse the colon and I cannot see how that could interfere with things...? I guess it depends on your priorities, mine is definitely to get rid of ALL my toxins first thing in the morning so I can start the day right.

I would try it both ways and see how it feels for you. I am betting your body will let you know... =)
