Welcome to Atkins. Great advice you are getting here. It will take a while for you to sort out what you can and cannot eat, just don't give up. Generally you will want to eat natural nonprocessed foods. The more processed they are generally the worse they are for you. Caffiene can hurt your weight loss and if at all possible you should try to give it up. This can be hard for some people if you are addicted to it, but it is possible. If you can't quit cold turkey, try switching to decaf or part decaf, but your goal should be to give it up completely. You should not use the powdered creamer, use heavy whipping creme instead. Good luck on your journey.
