You don't have to abandon just reduce :-).

To get this started we need to keep are carbs lower than 30 (according to Atkins) my personal preference would be 15-20gm for the induction.

But when you do that you need to up the fats in your diet. Otherwise you will almost guaranteed get headaches and feel like cr*p.

So your omlett that you listed is fine. (but levee out the green bits of the spring onions) and make sure you are not using giant mushrooms . But that is a small meal, and if you feel hungry after then feed the hunger with a high fat treat.

Atkins also recommends no more than 30 mL of double cream during induction. So this means that you need other high fat snacks. My favourite is tesco value salami. (It is my crisp replacement !! ). High fat only 1.6 % carb.

I have never used MyFittnesPal but I might go have a look at it to see how it works. But it sounds good.

Overall you are fine but I think a little tweaking of your induction foods will help you out in the long run.

Did you manage to get ketone strips from the pharmacist?
