As long as you're using a low sugar dressing and you promise to replace those trans fats ;), you're doing great!!!

Sounds great. I eat more fresh veggies now than I did before, and find that many of them taste much sweeter and better than when I was hooked on carbs. I go through a couple of heads of broccoli and cauliflower every week, and eat peas with heavy cream (peas will be farther down the road for you, they have more carbs than some veggies.)

Berries will be in season soon, and good tomatoes.

One thing I saw on TV that I started doing this month--I buy three heads of different kinds of lettuce, take the heads apart (don't tear) and put them through your wash/spin salad gadget, then spread them out on paper towels. I place another layer of towels and roll it all up, and then put that paper roll in a plastic bag, not letting the leaves touch the plastic. Kept in the frig, it's a fresh, cold, crisp salad any time you want. Lasts a week, with just a little oxidation of the leaves.
