confused
 
if i eat 2 cups of salad and 1 cup of other vegtables and it doesnt add up to 20g of carbs then what? eat more vegtables?
i havent lost any weight for about 10 days but i wasnt eating enough carbs cause i was sticking to the 3 cups per day. should i move out of induction and add some nuts?
also will like 1 or 2g of sugars in products bring me out of ketosis?

You should be getting some additional carbs from things such as cheese, eggs, salad dressing, some meats, etc -- don't forget to count those. But if you're not getting 15-20g on Induction you should add some more vegetables form the "allowed list". Move on to OWL if you're bored and need a little more variety, but stick with it a little longer if you're happy. Avoid sugar at all costs. You want 0 sugar in your diet on Induction.

Also coffee/decaf/tea, cream, each packet of sweetner adds too which is why 20 is usually acheived.

If you are under have more veggies. My suggestion is to not try OWL items until after induction. Usually these items are to be tested by your body, such as nuts that stall some people.

All the best.

You can always add some cheese to increase your carbs. Each string cheese thing contains about 1 carb. Or put some cheese on your burgers or in an omelette. Eggs also contain about .6 carbs each
