I drank caffeine last time I did Atkins, 3 years ago, because I thought it was just not recommended due to water weight gain, but I didn't have a prob with that, so I drank it. It wasn't until I had stopped and later viewed his VHS tape, that I discovered the reason why he said caffeine was a no-no. It's because it causes an insulin reaction. But, caffeine didn't seem to bother me much back then... but... anyways, here is what's in Atkins Accel:
Niacin (as niacinamide) 15mg
Chromium (as chromium dinicotinate glycinate) 100mcg
Green tea leaf extract (provides 50mg caffeine and 90mg epigallocatechin gallate) 600mg
Accelerator Blend (providing 25mg total methylxanthines): Yerba mate leaf extract, Brazillian guarana seed extract and Teobroma cacau seed extract 166.7mg
Thyroplex Blend: Guggul extract (Commiphora mukul), bladderwrack kelp, DL-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine 50mg
Other ingredients:
Dicalcium phosphate, microcystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, steric acid, magnesium stearate, silica and food glaze.
Caution: This product contains naturally-occuring caffeine, approximately equal to one cup of coffee per serving. Consult your physician before using if you are on a caffeine-restricted diet.
On the front it says it's a Dietary Supplement, Ephedrine-Free, Enhances Fat Loss, and Supports Normal Thyroid Function - but those last 2 statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
Hope this helps.
