Gosh, I didn't realize coffee was even forbidden during induction! I used to drink up to 15 cups a day and although I knew (or thought I knew) that in the Atkin's book, it suggests you avoid caffeine, I didn't realize i was suppose to not even have any! My point is, I've been on for just under two weeks, have lost over ten pounds, and have still been drinking 4-6 good cups of coffee a day. I wouldn't have been able to go cold turkey on coffee- too many side effects from cafffeine withdrawl! ANyway, I'm happy to see some of the experienced members (I just joined up yesterday) are saying some coffee is okay. My ultimate goal is to soon switch to half and half, then eventually no coffee at all, or no more then three or four cups a day- like a 'normal' person.
