Sorry guys I'm new,
I would assume no supplements during the famine (IE preworkout, creatine, bcaas) due to the state we are trying to reach. I'm starting famine workout #1 today and am going to error on the cautious side and not take any, but I was wondering.
Supplements during famine
I'm a minimalist here, with a multi, fish oil and perhaps a greens supp if not using one of the "live" fruit/veggie drinks recommend in the stickes that Mixelflick character put together to make this easy 
Recall the goal of Famine: Deplete muscle substrate. You can't do that if your pre-workouts are loaded with Creatine, Beta alanine etc.
Stims? A strong cup of Joe is a logical starting point. From there, everything up to E/C is fair game IF you get Dr's clearance and IF you don't have any pre-existing conditions.
You like mixed nuts? Me too. Can eat them until the cows come home. Have a friend who ate a small amount by accident once. Almost died from an allergic reaction (air passages swelled shut). Had another who screwed up his bulk Y-hcl dose. His sister called me from the ER "John can't breath on his own, do you know what he's been taking"?
Trust me, you DON'T want to be taking that phone call anytime soon...

This might surprise some, but in the context of BP I believe things like BIU (far too adaptogenic) and Greens (too much positive nitrogen) take away from phase one.
Make fresh juice, eat lightly cooked cabbage. Steam a little rice and veggies. Take a multi-life, drink a gallon of water...
It's a few days, do it strict and do it right and you will be rewarded greatly.
