Welcome and best of luck to you. No, you don't have to follow the sample menus. Just stick to the list of acceptable foods for induction and do what you like with them, staying below 20 carbs of course.

It's hard to find processed meats that have zero carbs and no sugar. Try to buy the ones with the least amount of either, or cook your own chicken, pork, beef, and slice it yourself.

Happy to report that most mayonnaise is quite okay. In fact, it's one of my mainstays of this WOE.

All best,

Kay
