They are detailed in the book "Overcoming Jet Lag", by C. F. Ehret, which is available in many large book stores. Briefly, you abstain from caffeine for 3 days, then take a large dose at the appropriate time. You also adjust your diet to a feast-fast routine during the 3 days before the flight and have high protein breakfasts and lunches and high carbohydrate suppers. We had few effects of jet lag on the eastbound flight, and they lasted only one day instead of the usual week. On the westbound flight, we also proved the worth of the diet, although we didn't stick to it as rigorously; our symptoms were significantly lessened and of shorter duration.
