I took in a lot more veggies then just that. My salads would be closer to 3 cups. I would have maybe 1/2 cup of spaghetti squash and some asperagus for dinner.
With the high fiber content of LC veggies, and the fact I was eliminating dairy and other hidden carb sources, I was only getting around 15g net per day. I think I did cut down on coffee. I use stevia as a sweetner, but I went through periods of trying to get caffine out of my system, so I think I did cut out coffee. I may of HAD had some herbal teas. Coffee does have some carbs, and can dehydrate you. Right now my morning "cup" of coffee with half and half probably makes for at least a half days worth of carbs
I found with the dairy gone, and other carb sources, it was almost impossible to get up to 20g net off salad and a couple servings of the allowed veggies. I did try to keep my cals at 1200 or over as the fat and veggies filled me up and I would drop too low if I didn't monitor myself.
