    I would tackle the smoke quit first, and eat as well as possible during that time. When you quit smoking, your body tends to naturally purge a lot of toxins, and you need to eat right and hydrate in order to help that process. Fasting at the same time might be too much at once.

    I quit smoking six years ago after multiple attempts. I highly recommend:

    with follow up:

    www.whyquit.com
    www.quitnet.org (a community like TE.)
    I can do five more miles.

    perhaps late in the game and not as on topic anymore, but I thought I would share my experience with an inadvertent salt cleanse.

    A while back I went surfing. Not very well, mind you, where I was gulping sea water probaby by the gallon.

    That night, I went to the toilet and was about to pass gas, but what came out was... well... brown water (sorry!). It took me by surprise because I had no cramps or anything.

    So, I suppose you can say a salt water cleanse would work, but not sure how healthy it is.

    Badger, yuck!

    The first time my dog went to the beach he'd taste the water every time we turned our heads.

    Luckily we were out of the car before it started coming out both ends simultaneously.

    Smart dog though, he never drank salt water again.

    But was he pure?

    Sorry about the surfing Badger, but it's a great story!
