This seems like a great WOE to me, but I'd really like to understand a bit better how it works. I can see that it makes sense to stick to the cheat sheet, cos then you don't have to weigh anything and you know what you can and can't eat. But can anyone tell me if the diet works if you occasionally have a slightly higher-carb veggie for a cm but just eat less of it? 60 gms of carrots, for instance, has around 4.5 gms of carbs. I know this diet is supposed to get you away from measuring, but I'd still like to know whether it would make any difference to my weight loss if I had 60 gms carrots with my cm rather than (lots more) mushrooms or cauliflower? The reason I'm asking is because I'm sensitive to several of the vegetables on the cheat sheet (for instance, the whole cabbage family, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, broccoli. etc set off a nasty attack of IBS, and green beans give me hives), so I'm trying to find a way of making this work for me. Any help much appreciated
