Welcome Avengeance!

Nick, it sounds like you are doing freat so far! I personally have never felt better than doing Atkins. I hope the same goes for you as well.

Yes, the bread is out, at least for now. After induction, you may want to find a low carb bread. Personally, I thought I would miss bread the most but I don't. You can still have lots of garlic with your steak. I almost always sautee mushrooms with lots of butter and garlic and pour that over my steak.

I am not really into cars but I have been to the races once at Sebring about 10 years ago. It was a blast!

Good luck and success on your weight loss journey!
