    Craving Coffee?!??!!

    I am in day 10 of Induction. Thankfully, all is going well so far. I am shocked at how I have no food cravings ( I was a big soda drinker and like to snack a lot) and am alaways full between meals. However....
    The last three days I have been craving (slightly) a good cup of coffee. Here's the kicker; I am NOT a big coffee drinker. Maybe, on average, I would have a cup a week. Rarely would I even drink caffinated coffee, it would always be decaf. But I would NEVER drink it in the warmer weather. It was 83 here yesterday and I couldn't wait to get a cup. I have since "craved" it the last three days.
    Has anyone experienced this?

      Strangely enough, I didn't get addicted to coffee until after I started Atkins. Very very rarely drank it before hand, but picked up an insatiable love for it after I started. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for people trying to lose weight, but it's one of those things where I'm not at liberty to throw stones If it weren't for coffee, there'd be many a 3 hour Historiography class I wouldn't have made it through awake...

        I experience this every.single.day. I'm a rancid coffee drinker lol
        The thought of not having a cup kills me...
        The only thing I do, is not have any coffee at all.
        Of course, I'm unsatisfied, but no matter what diet you're on, you'll never be satisfied

          I am the same way! I only ever drink coffee if my little one has been up in the night and i am exhausted, but on Atkins, I just enjoy coffee. Weird!

              omg Ive been having the same craving! I rarely drank coffee before atkins. Maybe once or twice A MONTH! Ive been craving coffee like a mad woman for the past couple weeks!! I havent had any, but everytime I see or smell it, the craving persists.

              Thats strange, isn't it?!

                My day begins with a trip to the bathroom to visit the scale and then to my coffeemaker for my cup a day habit. I began drinking coffee when I was 17...with lots of milk n sugar. lol Then it was flavored creamers which didn't help on the weight front. I forgot how much I loved just the whipping cream and sf syrups in my coffee but I try to stick to 1 a day and depending on the morning mood maybe 2. If I don't I get a horrendous migraine and I honestly would rather take a cup of coffee than pills to get rid of it. lol Yes I could go thru weaning myself off of caffiene but I can think of worse vices. lol

                Hugs, Mel
