In Dana Carpender's book (How I Gave Up My Low-Fat Diet and Lost 40 Pounds), she says that both onions and tomatoes are high-carb veges (onions are if they are cooked, like how Dr. S. treats carrots) and should be eaten in moderation. I hope Dr. S. clarifies the tomato issue in her new book, but I consider both of those "vegetables" as borderline veges and they help me "validate" not eating starchy vegetables to get me carb alottment each day (another Dr. S. point about if you eat enough non-starchy veges, you don't have to eat starchy ones).
Sounds kinda screwy, I know, but it's working for me. And tomatoes and cooked onions are two of my favorite vegetables, so I don't really limit them much.
