      Hi, acarson, and welcome. We are happy to help however we can.
      You can read up on many of these ingredients in our searchable “Tips and Tricks” articles (link in the toolbar near the top of this page), and find them at health-oriented stores like Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe’s, and big box stores like CostCo, Target, and WalMart, as well as online, including through Amazon (see our shopping guide here: http://www.trimdownclub.com/shopping-links-for-healthy-foods).
      You don’t have to worry about using unfamiliar foods, breaking the bank, and/or jumping in head-first. Ease into things gradually, and let small changes add up.
      If you have any questions or additional concerns, please do repost somewhere on this site (check out our Forums – I participate in those, and you may find what you’re seeking).

      Hi, SheaHill. You can add those, but note that of the two, only dill pickles are “free” – a small onion (less than 2 inches across) yields about 5 grams of available carbohydrates+ protein. You can get get away with the extra in this recipe.

      Hi, ACKing. If any of those items show up in your menu here, you can just click on the item to swap it for something more suitable. When your mouse is over the item, you will see an option to omit it permanently from your menu.
      In terms of individual alternatives for those specific foods, the following alternatives have been used:
      Nuts: sunflower or pumpkin seeds for snacks or butter; coconut flour plus extra eggs for baking
      Shellfish: other fish is generally fine
      Avocado: Olives, cream cheese, tahini, heavy cream – depending on the recipe.
      If you would like help with something in particular, please let me know.

      Hi, Pvalentino. When you are actually making the recipe, you can make the swap yourself – don’t worry about the menu or recipe. A good swap for avocado is prepared tahini when it’s a spread, or nuts or seeds when it’s a snack or chopped salad ingredient.
