What really helped me was stirfry/salads.

You can make awesome stirfry with any of those meats cept maybe
hamburger .
Also make caeser salads with grilled meat. Taco salad with the hamburger (no
chips )

Soups are also good. Use precanned stock to save time add the meat and
sauteed vegetables yummers.

Just a few suggestions off of the top of my head

It is not all that complicated. Eat the same chicken, steak and
ground beef you had before going lowcarb.

Add some green beans, a green leafy vegetable and a side dish of
cruciferous vegetables topped with a rich sauce. Dinner done. Roast
chicken, steamed asparagus topped with red wine vinegar whipped in
mayo and a small green salad with a spoon of blue cheese dressing.
Dust the salad with cracked pepper and a light garnish of grated
cheese.

My very favorite Induction-friendly meal would be a medium-rare ribeye
steak, rubbed with a few teaspoons of Cajun spice mix (see below) and
blackened in a very hot skillet then topped with melted gorgonzola
cheese, accompanied by a helping of "fauxtatoes" (cauliflower steamed
with a clove of garlic until soft, then mashed with butter and cream
cheese).

Cajun spice mix:
(use as needed and store remainder for later use)

1 tbsp Paprika
2 1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Onion powder
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Ground red pepper (cayenne)
3/4 tsp White pepper
3/4 tsp Black pepper
1/2 tsp Dried thyme leaves
1/2 tsp Dried oregano leaves

anything you can't get at your local grocery store

My favorite was to take one of the four ounces of cheese allowed, (an
ounce cube) stuff it into a patty of ground meat (turkey, chicken, beef,
your choice) and grill it. Inside-out cheeseburger! Serve with mayo
(no sugar-added, of course), and a salad.

Additionally, I made a lot of broccoli in many forms (still do) and ate
it during induction - of course, in the correct amounts (1 cup).

Why not a ham-stuffed chicken breast, broiled? Pound a
boneless/skinless breast flat, add a slice or two of ham, roll up,
secure with toothpicks, drizzle with olive oil, and broil.

Finally, I made "hash" once. Cauliflower, leftover roast beef. Mash
the veggie, add the beef, add some sour cream and mayo, a sprinkle of
onion powder and garlic powder, heat up. I diced the beef.

Just to be clear-- those eleven teaspoons of Cajun SPice mix contain
8.8 carbs by my calculation, or about 0.8 carbs per tsp.

Spices are a hidden carb for a lot of people. Salt and pepper are
empty, but most ground spices average a carb/tsp. Green herb spices
are typically lower.

Breakfast was breakfast sausage, bacon, eggs, various omelet. Until I
got bored with that and just skipped breakfast-which is normal.

It was helpful to make salads a common staple, especially for lunch.
Salads with bacon, Marie's Blue Cheese(1/2 carb), avocado, cheese
cubes, bbacon bits(Hormel's-0 carbs), chef salads, cobb salad(light on
onion, add grilled chicken), taco salad, tuna salad, egg salad,
seafood salad...

Meats in good rich sauces...
Porkloin or beef cuts in creamy mustard & mushroom sauce
Pepper encrusted porkloin
Dry rubs on beef-if you've never used a rub before you should try it.
(remember rubs have carbs!)
Buffalo wings
Breadless-Monte Cristo.(turkey,ham,swiss,light on suaerkraut-find
lowest carb one, all melted)
Breadless-Reuben(Pastrami-corned beef,swiss,light on suaerkraut-find
lowest carb one, all melted)
Meatloaf (used ground pork rinds for bread crumbs)
Sauasage Stuffed Mushrooms
Portabello mini-pizzas with Sausage & Pepperoni (two 3.5" pizzas were
7 grams)
Top Loin steak with Lawry's Mesquite Veggies (Yellow Squash, pepper,
green onion, mushroom in Lawry's Mesquite sauce)
Stuffed Jalapenos (split in half, stuffed with spicy meat,cheese, &
cream cheese)
Stuff burgers (put the toppings and cheese inside)
Chicken with a Carbonara sauce
Chicken Cordon blue(stuff with ham & cheese)
CHicken Kiev (stuff with butter & broccoli)
Chili- Careful on spices(they have carbs and add up fast, use a raw
chopped jalapeno to add heat instead of lots of cayenne)
Pizza Burger (Frank's Natural Marinara is only 1g per 1/2cup-oily
sauce)
Loaded Hot Dogs-split and piled with sauerkraut, bacon, leftover chili
meat, very little onion in hot sauce, mustard or whatever else.
(Boar's Head & HUmmel Bros. hot dogs are 0 carbs[0.0-0.4 carbs] but
slightly more expensive. I buy the 2-4lb packs)
BBQ-flavored Chicken (Stubb's BBQ Sauce 3gms/tbsp-can't use much to
cook with. I baste on at last minute.)

Sides are typically a caesar salad (Marie's Creamy Caesar is 1 carb)
or some simple salad, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower


Introducing as much variety as possible helped me feel normal--I have
very wide taste buds. Something simple like stuffed mushrooms can be
varied by content. You can make it more vegetarian, spicy mexican,
italian antipast-flavored, pizza-like, exotic cheese and meats,
seafood, japanese (soy & ginger dressed veggies), smoked salmon &
cream cheese, anything.

If i had a more restricted palette I think boredom would have hit me
harder.

I make a stir-fry-like thing with hamburger. Cook a lb or two of
cheapo hamburger in a big wok until it's about half done, add freshly
chopped ginger and garlic and continue cooking until hamburger is
done. Then add a whole shredded cabbage, mix rapidly to coat in the
pan grease, and fry until lightly brown. Add some soy sauce to
finish.

This is really yummy.
