hi darren,
i was confused at firest but found smaller portions and lower fats help and try different things with salad,
you must just stick at it i have things like salad, salad dressings vary like thai red salad dressing bought in a big supermarket (pat back pocket) hint
i use light olive spread instead of butter no sugar just canderel i eat salmon,prawns home made lasagne or spag bol ( only a small amount as a treat.
carb counting is to me extremely important i don't know if you have weight to lose but i assume you do and will say once you start losing the weight you will find the control a little easier.
as for carbs no one seemed to know what carbs i should use so i first tried 20 to 30 per day but really started to feel ill so went to 80 to 100 and found that was much better for me (of course every one is different) so you must find what is right for you.
i don't eat white bread i buy weightwatchers wholemeal (very small slices) i have one at breakfast with a boiled egg or a little no added sugar jam just experiment don't worry if you fluctuate as i still do and really do sometimes get frustrated which does not help so just do it really steady.
i hope this helps some way for you.
good luck and don't be afraid to ask me. if i can help i woukd be happy but bare in mind i'm still experimenting with it.
do it for you as its your body and your life.
best wishes
