Hi and welcome!

The coffee is probably not a big deal. That's about the only induction rule I'll ever say is okay to break. Of course, if you're a big time caffeine addict, it's still a good idea to cut back.

You have the right idea... just to refresh you on some of the induction rules:
- cream is limited to two or three *tablespoons* a day, and you're probably using that in your coffee.
- artificial sweeteners are limited to a couple of packets a day. Likewise, that's probably going into your coffee. Be sure to count the carbs in the jello and whipped cream.
- Atkins bars aren't on the <a href="http://atkins.com/Archive/2001/12/15-464579.html">acceptable foods list.</a>
- No more than 20 g of carbs per day, and they should come mainly from your veggies.
- Eat 3 cups of salad veggies, or 2 cups salad veggies plus one cup cooked veggies.

The best way to break that night time hunger is to stick to the induction rules very carefully. If you're hungry, EAT, but it's gotta be protein and fat snacks. Abstinence is the only way to break the addiction.

It'll be worth it! Honestly! You'll be amazed how much more free time you have when you're not eating for recreation!

Keep on truckin'!
