My daughter is a wellnes coach and she told me to take one tablespoon of olive oil one hour before breakfast. You can have a cup of black coffee to offset the taste which I don't mind at all. I started this one week ago and can't believe how much it works. It's best to use the dark olive oil with non-gmos. I've had chronic constipation as far back as I can remember, and tried everything. Olive oil together with the Bezore diet really got things moving. I wish a doctor told me this years ago, especially the gastro doc.
