The fiber thing works like this: subtract the grams of fiber from the grams of carbohydrates for your 'net' carbs.

I really think it would be hard to overdo salad veggies, too, especially if you're young and/or have a faster metabolism than an oldster like myself. My daughters eat way more carbs than I do and are losing weight like mad. I'm losing good, too, just have to make sure I watch everything like a hawk (mostly because if I go too low on fats and/or calories I tend to quit losing). They quit measuring and counting a few weeks ago.

That's great on no cravings! And if they do pop up (sometimes they do when you least expect them), I've found it's best to satisfy them with fats.
