eating only meat and eggs (lean if possible, no junk protein like pepperoni or nitrate food (hotdogs or some bacons) )and adding minimal fats (cream, butter, dressing, mayo). Just enough to keep it do-able.

No, Elyse, that's YOUR (non-veggie) Kimkins

. Kimkins and M/E are different. There are veggies in Kimkins a la the 1992 edition of DANDR.

Here, Lisa Rae posted that Kimmer posted this (how's that for third hand, LOL?).

Kimkins

"Kimkins is based on 1992 Atkins.
Up to 20 carbs
Up to 3 cups of salad or 2 cups salad + .5 cup cooked veggie
Pick lean meat/chicken (no skin) or water packed tuna
Use just enough fat to make your menu work (watch salad dressing!)
No LC products or desserts
No alcohol
Don't pick a calorie level, just keep your carbs very low and your appetite will take care of it.

Some people also try the Kimmer 3 Day Experiment is protein only (lean protein, no cheese). It's purpose to get into 'real' ketosis ASAP, then transition to Induction/Kimkins."
