Sometimes it has crappy stuff added to it. I see online that you can make your own... Cream only, not half & half. Limited to 2-3 tablespoons as a "beverage" and 3 oz as part of the "Special Category Foods". But the latter are foods that may stall you and there are certain ways to take them. Check the acceptable foods for details: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What foods can be eaten on Induction?) Cheese (of any of the kind allowed during Induction) is limited to 3-4 oz per day. No limit on these. Sweeteners (including sweetened foods/drinks like diet sodas) are limited to 3 packets (or servings, e.g. 8 oz of diet soda is 1 serving) per day.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
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!"
