I will be cutting off about 10 myself over the next month and a half or so. Never really tried the no grains thing..
Someone mentioned quinoa. I may give it a go on a carb day.

UD 2.0 sucks...but it works if you can stick with it. Pounds and Pounds of potatos
Ketosis is a tool not a way of life. Putting yourself into Ketosis for short periods of time is a good way to remind the body to use fat stores for energy rather than shutting down metobolic processes(body temp, cold hands/feet, mood, ability to reach deep sleep, fighting inflammation, muscle repair, etc...) Look at the fourms containing people who have been that way for more then 1 year. They have really messed themselves up. Also is really messes with your floral, fasting glucose, mineral absorption. Also most dont watch their o-6 types of fat and as a result have serious inflammation. If one is VLC long enough protein can be changed to glucose rather then used a building blocks for cells.
Mark of MDA recommends that after you become "fat-adapted" via light or deep ketosis, you shoot for 100-150g of carbs a day plus carbs for exercise. I think meal timing and frequency vary from person to person.
Down 17lbs in a 2+ months. Looking for another 13 lbs to get down to 180lbs.
Man's evolutionary history goes back 1MM years or so. He was a "hunter-gatherer". Ate what he found and what he killed.
That included meat, tubers, fruits and vegetables. (Did not include wheat, corn, soy "processed products".)
Only for the last 5,000 years or so has man fed significantly upon grains of any kind... that's not enough time for the genetics of our metabolism to evolve into readily accommodating a significant amount of grains in our diet.
Bottom line... "Eat what hunter-gatherer man would have eaten". Avoid other, and you will be healthier.
