I just listened to my body and ate what I felt good eating, which was raw fruits & veggies (some lightly steamed at times) & smoothies. You have to come to a point where you realize every diet fact is far from

Thank you all for your replies I have not read anything about the sodium however, I LOVE watermelon and figured it would be nutrient sufficent and delicious.

I also will try to consume a full gallon distilled water with lemon during the day to reduce hunger and then a stimulant laxitive herbal tea in the evening.
