Bean sprouts, raw....... are listed in the back of your CAD book page 300, as having 6 grams of carbohydrates per 1 cup. Now who actually eats a whole cup at a time eh? LOL

In the CALP book page 121 bean sprouts are listed on the Craving-Reducing Foods list along with Alfalfa sprouts. They are a wonderful addition to my salads. Love em.

Gum.... well basically CALP says to skip the gum. It's on page 60 in the CALP book if you want to read more. Even if you are chewing a sugarless gum, your body, the carbohydrate addicted thing that it is......might see gum as a reason to trigger a "heightened insulin response" which in turn makes you crave things you don't want to be eating.

If you haven't got the CALP book I would suggest borrowing it from your library. I find it to be much clearer and I refer to it much more often than the CAD book. The program is basically the same, but the CALP book is my preference.

Best wishes,
