I tried Atkins, but I do not eat salad greens and the induction requires about 2 cups per day.

I think that you misread that. Atkins does not "require" 2 cups of salad greens per day. It does suggest no more than 2 cups per day to begin.

From the Atkins site:
Eat no more than 20 grams a day of carbohydrate, most of which must come in the form of salad greens and other vegetables. You can eat approximately three loosely packed cups of salad, or two cups of salad plus one cup of other vegetables (see Acceptable Foods).

I personally take it fruits (apples, oranges, pears) and high starch veggies like Green Peas, Edamame, corn and potatoes. I also love bread products, but only white bread, cannot stomach others such as rye or wheat.
