Aim for those that are water or olive oil based (not canola or soy). Q: Do I really have to give up my coffee for the 1st week? A: Yes, because we both know you will survive. Many have actually gone on without it from that point on! Give your liver a break from the stress of caffeine for a week, it will be happy. Q: What about protein powders? A: Eating real food is the 1 st priority . Most protein powders are also loaded with sweeteners and other chemicals. If for some reason you think you are not going to eat enough during the day, then it is your choice.

A: You can take a multi-vitamin if you like to cover your bases, but you should be aiming for all your vitamins/minerals to come from real foods.
