Horseradish is only 0.4 carbs/tsp. Usually seafood sauce is ketchup with horseradish. Ketchup is 4 carbs/tblsp. During induction you are aiming for 20 carbs or less per day including your mandatory veggies so judge yourself accordingly..

Carbs listed on the nutritional content lists are total carbs minus the fibre content so if carbs are 12 and fibre 3 the total digestible carb is 12-3= 9carbs.

Good idea is to pick up a copy of the Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution 2002 edition.

Congratulations on choosing this WOE. It rocks and this board is great for support!!

Cheers,
Gigi
