Advice:
Just imagine all the stuff you could quickly make with the ingredients
above and some good herbs and spices.  Freeze all the meat and plan
portions of no more than a cup for most items.  Put cinnamon on the
fruit salad.  Yum.  Calories are IMPORTANT for losing weight,  a
dieter needs the energy.  At what time you eat the food is very
important.  Remember, any carbos are burned first, then the body goes
to storage.  You want to get to those storage areas while you're
exercising.

To me there are only two "low-carb" diets out there: Atkins or SB.
Most everything else is some knock-off.  SB is MUCH better and more
reasonable.  

I follow SB with some modifications:
Basically, the first part of the diet is attempting to wean a dieter
of processed sugars and "white" foods.  Unless you sat there for years
on end and ate Lil' Debbies, Doritios, Cokes, Popeye's biscuits and
Wonder bread while sitting on the convienient toilet you installed in
the pantry, then EAT the WHOLE fruit and nothing but the fruit you
want!

The diet teaches portion control, which many people have NEVER
understood, so, inevitably, the diet  works, even with the fruit.  NO
diet works without portion control, which is strictly BEHAVIORAL.

Unless you have a special medical issue, you'll notice very little
"glycemic" affect even if you drink a serving of whole fruit juice
(unsweetened).  The juice may, with little probability, give you a
"spike" and make you hungry, so just eat whole fruit salad, even in
phase one if you want.  The fiber in the fruit will totally even out
the metabolism of any little carbohydrate, and you'll burn those
little calories off just breathing the air and doing small tasks.  The
fiber in the vegetable or fruit is invaluable to loosing weight and
eliminating the fat in the meat products, and it won't dehydrate you
like a suppliment would.  I actually have a Tbsp of psyllium fiber in
ice cold water every morning after a cup of green tea, but never take
a whole BUNCH of fiber for a long time.

Hint:  To keep Romaine lettuce fresh for a LONG time, cut tops and
bottom, separate and wash very well in a colander.  Let the stalks of
romaine lettuce stand in a big ol' bowl of water for about 15 mintues
to drink the water and become crisp.  Line a big plastic stoarge box
with paper towels and then layer the stalks with paper towels between
them. Stays fresh for 11 days (or MORE) near the crisper.

Good question! Here are mine...(in no particular order)

Nuts of any kind
Carb Options peanut butter (for snacking!)
Eggs
Cheese
Chicken breasts and/or skinless thighs
Tuna fish (I phear no mercury)
Vegetable oil or olive oil
Romaine lettuce for salads (I only recently rediscovered how much I
like salad)
Mayo

That's pretty much it. :)

Eggs, cheese, and tuna. As long as I have those, I can skip going to the
store for a day or two.

have my eggs.
