Chill. out.


I ate salads, plural, every day on induction. And I notice that you even state in your miniprofile up to the right there that you'll be doing this for life? Trust me, in a short while you will learn for yourself that veggies are your new best friend.

Back to my induction; I had either a salad or a cooked veggie (or two) at EVERY meal. I eat more veggies on Atkins than I ever did off it.

Get a good carb counter (a list with nutritional info on foods, many are available online, just google it), and choose a few veggies that you think you could live with, and just eat those during induction. After the two weeks are up, even if you din't want to up your carbs, you could still add in a few other types of veggies for variation. Just keep below 20 carbs a day. You will want to move out of induction (yes, I know the thought is scary) eventually, so when you're ready, just go for it. Increase the carbs very gently, Atkins recommended 5 more carbs a week, but just go with what feels best for you.

And above all, don't worry! The scared phase goes away, too.
