I think eating more veggies definately helps in getting your carb count up and helps with constipation, but if you don't hit 20...no biggie. I don't think I've hit 20 carbs the whole time I've done this. I try to get some veggies, but hate them and always have. I look at it as I'm eating more veggies now than I ever have, so that will have to do. I don't have bread or sugar cravings, but contipation was a big problem before I started taking the psyllium husks.
That being said...Dr. A has commented that people have done zero carb diets without problem, and in his earlier book, the 20 carbs were without deducting the fiber which we can now deduct, and so in the previous book, 20 carbs was actually a lot less (if you deducted fiber, etc.)
Anyway...just my two cents
