Hi Cael
Actually, the timing of the potato is based on when you ate dinner, not when you go to bed. For maximum effectiveness, the potato should be 3 hours after dinner.

But, before you start with the potato, how are your other steps going? How long have you been doing the program? How is breakfast? For the potato to work, step 3 has to be really steady and solid.

: Hello forum : )

: I have a question about the timing of
: eating a potato before sleeping:

: Is it important to eat the potato
: right before bed (ie: within 1/2
: hour before bed)?

: Can I eat the potato about 2 hours
: before I go to sleep ?

: Here's why:

: I practice something called Oil
: Pulling Therapy nightly, combined
: with using my Waterpik dental
: irrigator, right before I go to
: bed.

: Oil Pulling must be done on an empty
: stomach - after waiting and hour,
: to and hour and a half or more,
: after you've last eaten.

: Please note: It's not practical for
: me to do the Oil Pulling and
: dental irrigation BEFORE I've
: eaten the potato, because my teeth
: and mouth won't be clean for my
: night's sleep.

: Thanks in advance for your help !
