Is caffeine preventing weight loss on my LCHF regime?

Hi I have been doing the LCHF diet for a week, today is day 8. I showed all the signs of entering ketosis with the awful fatigue and headaches, very frequent urination etc. I have strictly kept to lower than 20g of carbs with sufficient fat intake and no alcohol. However, I have not lost a single pound of weight and if anything, my tummy is extremely bloated. I have been having coffee with cream and I read on a forum that caffeine causes the liver to release adrenaline, which then results in a temporary increase of blood sugar. Could this be the reason why I have lost any weight do you think? I know Dr Atkins recommended cutting it out but other resources say that it can be consumed so I am a bit confused now! Any help gratefully received. Thanks

Not everyone loses weight right away. If you are bloated then you are retaining water which could well mask any fat loss. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water and give it a bit more time.
