A diet to support cleansing should consist of whole foods and non-caffeinated drinks. If you drink 2 or more coffees a day, suddenly stopping coffee to do a cleanse may be difficult.

When doing a cleanse, you want to gently support the natural liver detoxification pathways.

If you drink more than 2 coffees a day, it is advisable to gradually decrease your intake by one coffee a day, every 3-4 days prior to a full diet and lifestyle cleanse. If you are a heavy coffee drinker, you may need to take 2 weeks before a full cleanse to gradually decrease your caffeine intake (this also includes regular tea). Even one coffee a day is best given up a couple of days before starting the product.
