Its my understanding NUTS are not allowed during INDUCTION but can be added in OWL! Don't think coconut oils is allowed either...coconut is a fruit and should have sugar....use a good olive oil or vegetable oil, even butter. On salads use a low carb cream salad dressing also...I use Hidden Valley Ranch...I also use this as a dip for raw veggies. Make sure your meatballs don't have fillers in them...(bread crumbs etc)..those hidden carbs can kill ya. Watch the salt intake too. Hope this helped....and by the way...if you eat diet jello, do not use the canned whipped cream, it has sugar, get heavy whipping cream add two splenda (2 carbs) or less and a tsp. of vanilla and whip up a carb free batch! Limit to 2-3 tablespoons of cream a day! Hope I helped.
