Hi Emma
Be careful. Most pure meat contains zero carbs and counting this as 1g against your allowance means you will eat fewer fresh green vegetables which are a must in this way of eating.
Looking at your stats you don't have a huge amount to lose, so try not to get too wrapped up in your carb counts. The key is a balanced, low carb diet full of good food. Avoid all refined foods, potatoes and other starchy veg and try to concentrate on lean cuts of meat with a portion of green veg for fibre and vitamins. Eggs are a life saver for me, one hard boiled as a snack with a mayonnaise dip is a great way to remove hunger pangs!
Have a look at www.atkinscenter.com and you will find a list of acceptable foods under the induction section. But given your stats, you will still be able to reach your target by following Ongoing Weight Loss.
Good luck.
