Yeah...it'll probably hit you in a few days...of course how bad it'll be depends on how many carbs you're used to right now. You'll not feel all that great for a few days and then all of a sudden you'll be feeling better than ever as your body switches what it burns for fuel.
Eating out isn't that bad really, unless you're into alot of fast food. When I was doing it I'd just get a burger with no bun or a steak or some such and then substitute in some extra veggies for whatever the carb-du-jour was. I did it in the spring of 99 when the low-carb thing was still being touted as dangerous by the mainstream. Now that the diet has been proven safe restaurants are alot more likley to allow for low-carb substitutions.
The biggest pain is having to give up sandwiches of all types...they're so easy to eat, particularly in the car and all of a sudden you can't.
