Can i drink coffee with milk & 1 sweetner on the atkins diet?

I did Atkins for a long, long time a few years ago. Technically, in the first two weeks of induction especially, you are not supposed to have any milk or sugar/sweetener. Atkins does say that you can drink regular, black coffee. I am a coffeeholic too and found cream hard to give up. I now drink regular coffee with just a teaspoon of fat-free organic half and half, even when I go back to Atkins for a short time....however, I think even that is "against the rules". I personally think a little in moderation isn't terrible...but maybe skip the milk and use Splenda instead of your regular sweetener for most of your coffee urges? Hope this helps and good luck! :)
