Two things. First, I can spot a lot of "hidden carbs" in what you've listed here. I can tell you from personal experience, that by carefully logging every bite, then looking up the actual carb counts -- or using an online food journal such as Fitday.com (there are others, that's just the one I use) -- Even on days when I've only eaten meats and cheeses, and had my coffee + cream, the bottom line has been 18 to 20 carb grams in a day.

Deli-style lunch meats - the roast beef and turkey breast - have carbs. Some dextrose is used in the processing. Unless you're actually roasting the meats yourself at home, without additives. Liverwurst is rather carby. Cheese has carbs, up to 1 gram per ounce. Tomatoes are carby too, 4.2 for half a cup. One problem in the USA, is that foods that have less than 0.5 carbs per serving, can be labelled "zero" carbs. Or, 1.5 can be labelled 1, 2.5 becomes 2 .. and so on. Those 1/2 grams can add up! Especially the cheese and cream ... we think there's zero carbs, so we end up having way more than just one serving ... ..

It really helps to have a good and ACCURATE food counts resource. Corrine Netzer's "Complete Book of Food Counts" is excellent, and handy since you don't have to be on the computer to use it. The USDA nutrient database is also great, you just type in the food name, and away you go .. http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl

The wine is likely inhibiting fat loss. How this happens -- if you are in ketosis, by consuming a very low carb diet -- the liver is making ketones from the burning of FAT. This is wonderful and desirable. However, the liver also can make ketones from ALCOHOL. In fact, it's easier to make ketones from alcohol than from fatty acids, so the liver will use the alcohol in PREFERENCE ... which means FAT-burning gets put on hold, until the alcohol is used up. So, while distilled spirits and bone-dry wine contribute little or no carbohydrates, and do not inhibit ketosis, they can and WILL stop fat-burning.

Your best bet for a successful Induction is to go cold-turkey ... follow the food lists exactly as outlined in Atkins New Diet Revolution for the full 2 weeks. So, eat plenty of sugar-free protein, two small green salads or a salad and one cup serving of a cooked lowcarb veggie such as asparagus, cauliflower or spinach ... and account for every single carb you consume, including dairy cheese and cream. And maybe hold off having the wine or rum until Induction is over, and your body is full-swing into fat-burning mode ..

One other thought ... in Protein Power, the Eades suggest that some folks may experience a gain at the beginning, if they've been eating the typical highcarb, lowFAT, lowMEAT diet with lots of pasta and bread .... Once you finally start feeding your body an adequate amount of quality protein, your muscles will gain a bit ... but it's NOT fat gain. And increased muscle means increased metabolism, means increased fat-burning. That's why it's so important to use the tape measure, as Wa'il stated.
