Instructions

• 1

  Wait at least 72 hours before taking a drug test. Give your body time to remove traces of the poppy seeds after you've eaten them.

• 2

  Drink a lot of water during the time leading up to the drug test. Water helps the body remove impurities from its system.

• 3

  Refrain from eating sugary or highly caloric foods. Your body will shift its functions to digesting and processing these kinds of foods rather than removing toxins and impurities.

• 4

  Avoid alcohol. It is high in calories and sugars. Your body will not be able to remove the poppy seed traces as well when alcohol is ingested.
