Pure poppycock. Your stomach empties overnight because of a little process called digestion, aided by peristalsis. In the morning, the stomach has contracted and there's nothing in it, so the stretch receptors in the lining of the stomach don't signal. If the stretch receptors don't signal, that's a sign that the stomach is empty.

More bull. You ever see someone at Weight Watchers go through withdrawal symptoms? I didn't think so.
