It will happen if you follow the plan, but it's not a miracle diet.
To answer your question... yes, even decaff can stall some people. Tea can stall as well (it does for me) even if it's decaff. My suggestion for you would be to drink only water for 2 weeks and see if this makes a difference.
Watch out processed meats and foods high in sodium, they might make you gain water weight. Everyone reacts differently to them.
Are you exercising? Exercise is an essential part of Atkins.
I'll also post this in the thread you started some days ago and maybe we can move the discussion there. I don't want to hijack this thread.  | All right, it's copied now.
How much water are you drinking?
If you're looking for an exercise challenge, there's a new one starting next week. Check my signature for a link to it. I'm sure you'll see differences (weight or inches) after 6 weeks of Atkins w/ exercise. | |

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
