Hi com,
You need to drink at least four pints of water throughout the day along with the liquid you use to mix your food packs.
The first three to four days are difficult as you are having carb withdrawal.
If you divide up your packs into two mini meals and have one half now and the other half again it will help to even out the blood sugar, you can have six mini meals or just do it with one pack, I have found this to help. You must make each half up fresh.
Yes you can add coffee if you like.
Here are a few ideas...

For the perfect vanilla capuchino.
Take half a pack of vanilla shake and add one teaspoon of coffee. Put it in a smoothie maker along with some cold water. Mix it through. Add some water that is just off the boil from your kettle up to the 80z mark. switch the smoothie machine to mix then smooth for a approx 15 seconds.
Put in your favourite mug and enjoy. This tastes almost the same as the nescafe, vanilla cappuchino sachet that you get.

ICE CREAM
Put 11 ice cubes in a liquidiser (a strong one) and crush the ice. Add a food pack (chocolate is a good one) - add a small amount of water (about 2tbsp) and liquidise for 5 mins. You end up with a big bowl of "ice cream". (The texture resembles more of frozen yoghurt, but it is still very nice) |

SMOOTHIE
Place 10-16 ice cubes (depending on your preference), a pint of water and your food pack in a smoothie maker and blend for approx 3 mins. Makes about 2 pints of delicious,cold,frothy drink in whatever flavour you like. |

BAR OF CHOCOLATE
You can make chocolate out of a chocolate pack. Mix pack with a bit of water until you have a thick paste, then spread on some tin foil and put in the freezer for an hour or more.
Variation: use half chocolate and half vanilla for a mars bar |

CAFFE LATTE
Mix a hot vanilla shake add a teaspoon of coffee and some sweeteners if required.
(This can also be adapted to allow for people who do not like drinking black coffee, but need a daily caffeine fix, just add a teaspoon of vanilla pack to your coffee to whiten it). |

HOT CHOCO MINT
Make up some strong peppermint tea. Mix a choc pack with hot water and a couple of sweeteners (depending on your taste) add the tea. Microwave for approx 20 secs and stir(better if you whisk with an aero latte) |
