Tips for Personal Program Success
Cut down on the bad stuff. Instead of going "cold turkey" off toxic substances like caffeine and alcohol, focus on reducing your intake a little each day. Mix caffeinated with decaffeinated beverages, slowly increasing the amount of decaf over time. Alternate having one drink and one glass of water. And if you must have cocktail, order vodka — it has the least contaminants.
