Someone else mentioned FRANKS hot sauce... which is also great... but way too salty if you're fighting high blood pressure like me. I don't know about its carb content w/o checking, though.

My induction shopping list includes eggs, cheese, beef steaks, hamburger, and fatty fish (salmon).

The fatty stuff fills me up so much that I find I'm ending the day and into the evening at about 500 fewer calories that my body allows for.... but I also increase my calorie expenditure via a 45 minute treadmill which knocks off about 225 calories and pushes my b/p downward.
