xotcbabe- I think for you to get full benefit from this diet I would stay away from the tomatoes and all veggies. If you feel that you must, than try to stay under 5g, I think you guys will be very pleased with the results if you stick to the plan for 3 days. By the way when you are done with the fast be sure to add your carbs back in very slowly in the beginning. I would start by adding a small salad for a couple of days then add back in some of your cheese until you get back to your original carb level.
