Ya know, maybe it will work for her. Not everyone is sensitive to carbs, and I think that it is good that at least she is trying something. I know that this WOE works for me, and certainly have been promoting it, but I guess you got to find what works and what plan you can stick to. And hey, if WW doesn't work for her, there is always LC! My thought would be to continue going out to eat. Do your best to resist making comments about your different WOE, because the proof will be in the results. LC is obviously working for you, and she can't fail to notice that!
