Hi Lucy -

Welcome!

I will echo the previous post - except I would say the Atkins book is a must! And it will give you lists of food you can have just about as much as you want of!

It doesn't sound like what you had should bring you to 15 carbs... Are you making sure that you are only counting NET carbs? Veggies like broccoli have fiber, which is technically a carb but doesn't impact your diet, so you should subtract it from your total.

So - drink more water, don't be nervous, and you'll do great!
