Caffiene and aspartame
Hi! Im new and have a few questions. I realize that there is no nutritional value in caffiene or aspartame, but I am wondering if I still consume one or the other, if there will be an effect or delay in weight loss. Do either substances inhibit the program? I am 9 days into Atkins and feel wonderful. Today was my second day with absolutely NO caffiene or aspartame, and I dont feel as though I am missing anything, other than the heavenly taste of Diet MtDew. I decided to cut it out, since I could not find a straight answer to this question through the people I know doing the Atkins, and I want to follow his instructions 100%.
Also, I am eating less than 15 Carbs a day. Is this harmful in any way? I have NO appetite, and do not crave food or carbs or sugar or anything!!! I force myself to eat and take supplements. BOY I am NOT used to this!! Im used to always snacking on something.
Thanks in advance for replies. The board looks like a great place to learn and share information and success. Im glad I found it!!!
