Hi, I'm gearing up to start on Wednesday...here is the menu I worked out for the first 5 days...

I bought bacon, ham & pepperoni sticks that show 0 carbs on the pkg. I am only buying cheese that is about 1 carb/oz. I have salad dressings that show 0 carbs on the pkg, and some that show 1/tbsp. I am not yet ready to completely give up my morning coffee - it used to be an XL 2sugar, 2 cream-I'm going to try a large decaf 2cream for now & see if I can cut back more later - Tim Horton's nutritional site shows that the 2 (large) creams will be 4 carbs...I know that's a lot.

Comments? Did I miss anything/break any induction rules? I saw somewhere here that eggs are counted as one carb...DANDR shows .6 - we get free-range eggs that vary widlely in colour/size, maybe I should count them as 1?

Thanks for the help...this board is great!
