Hi,
For one thing, it REALLY helps to be a non veggie and from your query on seekh kababs, it seems you are one, so hip hip hurray on THAT front!!!
The second thing about managing to stay on the wagon, er....induction, is to plan ahead. Load up the fridge with stuff like sausages, bacon, ham, salami, kababs (seekh or otherwise!), cheese (I find that having cheese slices or cubes available readily at hand helps a lot), eggs, butter and the low carb veggies (cucumber, saag, etc).
The third thing (not necessarily in order of priority) is to unlearn our bias against fats. The thing is, we've been brainwashed into hating everything to do with butter and oil. And the tendency is to cheat on the "fats" part of Atkins diet and hope to make up the deficit with increased protein. But we'll not be doing our kidneys a favour by overdosing on proteins. So believe in Atkin uncle, eat the reccommended portion of fats (additional benefit is that fats keep you feeling full for a lot longer).
Wish you the very best and all success!
