Hi Suze-Q

You can drink the coffee, but you can only have cream 1 time per day and it has to be drank within 15 minutes. Black coffee preferably decafe you can have throughout the day. If you were drinking coffee with cream throughout the day on Atkins that might be one of the reason why you have been stalled. I know it is allowed, but it still adds up in calories really fast. Just a guess here on my part.

Good luck if you make the switch. CAD is a very livable program.
