What I can do before the VLCD to reduce the amount of detox symptoms I experience during the first week?

Start weaning your body off of caffeine and sugar, eat organic produce, drink lots of water, and work through negative emotions using a technique like the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). The key to having a healthy body is to take good care of your body. Detoxification is a normal part of life – we live in an environment that allows us to consume a good deal of toxins. Sugars, caffeine, and pesticides seem to be top of the list of substances that can cause unpleasant detoxification symptoms. Equally so, emotions and negative thoughts can also trigger stress hormones in the body that can lead to toxins in the body that will need to be detoxified. Use your time on the HCG protocol to free yourself of unhealthy habits – physically and emotionally.
