Why can't you have aspartame on the Atkins diet?

I understand the diet in principle, and it seems to be working for me in the week or so I've been on it, but the induction phase seems to have these really silly rules, like no aspartame and no coffee.

There is no way I will ever give up coffee, and no, it doesn't give me a craving for sugar.

Thank you in advance for any input.
