Remember that eggs, sausages, some cured meats, shellfish, etc. do contain carbohydrates.

"Where are the other 13-14 carbs supposed to come from? Spices, sauces, etc? I'm not clear on that part. Can someone please elaborate?"

The 20 grams of CHO are the maximum recommended daily allowance. I'm sure many AD induction followers do well with that amount. I do better with a range of 8-15 grams CHO per day. At first I would suggest that you experiment with your daily amount of CHO ingested and see what effect it has on the scale and / or tape measure. I know we shouldn't become slaves to the scale, but I believe initially weighing yourself every other day can provide feedback if the CHO ingested is interferring with water weight loss which equates to glycogen depletion.
