Although I have been accused of being tough when it comes to reading and my nickname is Felix (Odd Couple) and after eight plus years of this website I have never been accused of saying clean, clean and clean some more.
If you learn the four mantras of our website: First, do no harm. Second, everybody's body is different. Third, it's the sum of the parts. Fourth, slow and steady.
Please notice Kate, nowhere does it say clean. We've learned over the years, from our own experience and thousands of others, that as you get well the envioronment takes care of itself. If I had to prioritize, I would say that sleep for healing is right there behind taking the entire protocol.
As far as coffee and chocolate, I think you should go to the Recipes section and check out Desserts, Sauces, Snacks and Treats and Beverages. Hopefully you will find goodies to help assist in finding substitutes for both.
Both Tawney and Justin were unable to afford the entire protocol when they first came here but as you can see from our recipe section they both comprehended the "diet factor" in their restoration of their health.
I hope this helps, please keep us updated as you begin your journey.
God Bless, Never Ever Give Up HOPE!!
