1 litre water

also... i will try to make this simple for you in hopes that you might grasp some basics.
(quoting a snippet from an article i wrote)
1) ---- "...Although it is commonly thought that there are only 13 vitamins, there is actually over 30 with the 13 considered to be essential to good health which are: Vitamins; A (Retinol), B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B6 (Pyridoxine), B12 (Cobalamin), Pantothenic Acid and Biotin, Folic Acid, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol), Vitamin E (Tocopherol) and Vitamin K."
2) ---- "...There are 15 minerals considered essential to good health and they are; Calcium, Chloride, Chromium, Copper, Flouride, Iodine, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Phosphorus, Potassium, Selenium, Sodium and Zinc."
now look at your super duper "twice a month", "for as long as i can tolerate" diet of lemon juice, pepper and sugar and tell me how you are getting everything your body needs for basic body functions (vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins etc that facilitate these functions and processes)... much less for growth, maintenence and repair. please delve into your views of why its ok to not eat protein and fats (mainly the "EFA's" i.e. "essential fatty acids") even though they are both vital to life.
you are doing something akin to drinking acid while starving yourself under the wrong assumption that the acid is performing some function which might be helpful and forgetting about everything you are depriving your body of which is ABSOLUTELY necessary for more important things like neurological, cardiological and muscular function. growth and regeneration of tissue... and all those other little things that you dismiss... and not considering the harm you are doing to your body.
...if you have made it this far... you can humor us with an explaination of what these so called "toxins" are that you are "cleansing" your body of (when you puke). I will be quite happy to rip that explanation apart.
