NURSEGAL - Hello. When I was on induction I completely cut out coffee/caffeine but after a while working the wacky hours and stuff I found I needed that jump start and it does not seem to affect me at all as far as weight loss. I don't drink it everyday but I have it from time to time. Today I mixed some instant coffee with the Atkin's chocolate shake and it was yummy. I also enjoy my Starbucks Americano with cream and SF vanilla syrup. So yummy.
