Yes, 72 hours is the common recommendation. After the test, make sure your daughter drinks lots of water, stays away from the simple carbs, and stays away from artificial sweeteners. Keep plenty of protein on hand for her to grab quickly (like cheese, eggs, etc.) She may gain some but do not fret over it. She will need your encouragement. :-)
