Hi Burn and welcome

You know how this is supposed to be a individual plan and you have to make it work for you because obviously if you can't eat veggies, your not going by the book but you can still suceed. First time I ever went on atkins I was a complete egg and meat and cheese eater and still lost 60 lbs in alittle over 3 months but that was then for me. I can eat salads and I detest veggies too but I do have to add mayonaise to it and it gives a whole new flavor to me, I can also eat some broccoli and green beans.

Now as far as the counting of the carbs, you have to learn the 0's and anything esle after that you probably will need to check, remember though ketchups and processed foods bacon etc. have hidden carbs so watch those and good luck!!
