But, unlike WW...there are a number of decent foods we can eat that have ZERO carbs or so few carbs, you probably don't even need to worry too much about them. For example, I didn't count my carbs at all for the first few months other than having a basic understanding of what foods were High, Moderate, Low, or Carb-Free...and I didn't go over my carb limit very many [if any] times. I ate Meats, Cheeses, Green Vegetables, and drank Water and Diet Rite.

I think it is entirely possible to create a diet with NO Carb, Points, Fat, or Calorie counting at all. In fact, a few already exist. All you have to do is tell people eat certain foods frequently [lets say Fresh Meats, Seafood, Cheese, and Green Veggies]; eat others no more than once a day [let's say Low-Glycemic Fruit and Milk]; and others no more than once a week [let's say Tubers and Whole Grains]; and don't eat others at all [let's say Refined Sugar and Refined Grains.] No counting there, except the number of servings a day or week. All you have to remember is "Did I have some Fruit or Milk already today ?" and "Did I have a Potato or Bread already this week ?" A diet like this would probably work for a large number of folks who aren't severely IR.
