The pie chart is okay showing total carbs. The approximate carbohydrate percentage you should aim for during Induction, 5%, is a total carbohydrate percentage. The number is not written in blood though -- it's okay if you have some days with 3% carbs and some with 7%.

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!"
