With my experience,
During my induction (and probably a month after) and stayed away from caffine entirely. Now I drink a double expresso in the morning and an occasional diet soda. My weight lose has slowed, but that could also be due to other factors (but I thought I would let you know all the same). Anyway, the caffine thing is a person by person affecter (I think I made that word up...lol). Some say it makes them stall, while others don't.
You'll have to see for yourself, but I would wait until after induction. After about those cravings, during my induction I really did not indulge myself when they came on because it seemed like it triggered more cravings. I never felt nauseated. but my stomach ached at night and I felt lightheaded all the time b/c I was going through carb withdrawl. And like any addiction giving your body the carbs will not help the problem. It basically took my body two weeks exactly to get out of withdrawl and then I felt 100X better. I would wake up feeling refreshed and had tons of energy. Just push through induction and then see how your body feels.
Good Luck and Great Job on Your Lose so Far,
Erin
