What's in your salads? I put tons of veggies in mine - lettuce, celery, radishes, peppers, onion, cauliflower, cucumber, etc.

I added berries in week 3 (still staying at net 20 carbs or less). My salad dressing had a carb or two. I had my daily espresso with cream/Splenda, cup or two of veggies at dinner. Around week 5 or so, I added in some nuts and sunflower seeds.

PLain yogurt in morning protein shakes (got sick of eggs).

There are lots of ways to get your carbs up a bit without having to eat a lot more. Just try to add some variety. Check out the recipe forums.

An avacado is another good one -- make guacamole and use it for taco salads. Or remove the pitt and stuff with shrimp salad.

Get creative! Good luck!

P.S. Yes, you can add in low carb breads, etc, but be aware that in some people these can cause more cravings. YMMV. I found them to be trouble for me, but others eat them regularly no problem.
