Great news! If you put in some time now cleaning out your pantry and fridge, getting rid of any food that is especially tempting, you'll find it much easier when you start!
The first week is the hardest, so just get through it however you can. If you can stick it out for 2 weeks, you'll drop into the "Cohen" zone and be perfectly happy.
If you want to prepare for the diet so you have less withdrawal symptoms (like headaches), then maybe start cutting down carbs, sugars and cut out any sweets or things like that - that way it's a little easier during those first few days when your body has a sudden change from normal diet to healthy diet.
And - drink lots of water every day, get lots of rest!!! I would also take a good multi-vitamin - they will recommend some sorts (which have less B6 etc), and it will help keep you on top.
But - by two weeks into it you'll be cruising and already starting to notice some things in your body changing. Once that happens, it's just so easy to keep doing what you're doing - it all becomes second nature.
Hope it all goes well for you.
