You do not have to eat 20 net carbs. 14 for example is also fine. You should be eating 3 cups of vegetables, with maximum 1 cup of these coming from the "Other Vegetables" list. Then you select the other foods you eat (from the Induction list) in such a way that over half of your net carbohydrates come from vegetables. If the total comes out at 14 net carbs or 12 or 16, it's okay. 
Here are the rules of Induction and the list of acceptable foods: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What are the Rules of Induction?) http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. 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!"
