PLEASE HELP!!!

so basically all its for is to control your cravings? Because at work I am so use to having coffee twice daily. Then after work if I happen to go out with freidns or family to a coffee shop i cannot help but to have coffee again. If it is purely just for craving reasons (obviously coffee isnt the healthiest choice) then I know I can control myslef.

thanks.

It may be hard in phase 1 to control the cravings, that's way it's suggested to limit your caffeine intake. It's a personal choice.


Kim's idea to try decaf (or maybe half-caf) is worth a try!


Good luck!
