I think this diet seems a bit higher in carbs than it really is. In Heather's book there are foods that we can have but it doesn't mean that we have to eat them all the time. It takes different amounts of SF for every one of us to "buffer" our stomachs. I found that as long as the main course (meat or whatever) is low in fat, no dairy, etc., I don't have to eat as much rice to be able to tolerate it.
Also, the diet suggests sweet breads and treats as snacks. Sure, since they're sweet the sugar definitely ads to the carb content. But I can just as well have a piece of toast with sliced avocado which I don't think it's a high-carb snack.
What I'm trying to say is that while this is not a low-carb diet I think everyone can tweak it according to their own needs and tastes (at least a little bit).
