Hi Lisa!

No, you don't have to eat seafood; the menus are only suggestions to give you an idea of what a daily menu would look like, not law. What IS law (low carb-wise), is the allowed foods list, at least on induction. Now, if you can find meats and veggies that are not on that list that are low carb without added sugar, nitrates or starches, I'd say go ahead and eat them but I think the list is pretty comprehensive as far as allowed foods go. I know it looks like a lot of food, but you should really do your best to eat it. You don't want your body to start thinking there is a famine going on because your calories are too low and shut down your metabolism to hold onto those fat stores. 10-12x your body weight in calories is the minimum and 60-70% of those calories should come from fats like butter and olive oil. Happy low carbing!
