Nina,
for everyday planning think of it as 6PV+extras and 1PP.
Now, bearing in mind that I work with the 'old' edition of the book I see it like this and it's working for me:
Extras every day: 40-60gr bread (weigh to check, it's rarely 2 slices unless you have a really small loaf) - I'm about to post a picture.
40gr hard cheese
1 piece of fruit (no bananas, grapes, cherries or dried fruit)
I would assume the tolerated stay the same. 2 per day.
Wheatbran for me is always part of my oatbran allowance (old edition of the book) so I have that on top of the bread ration.
For the first half of conso:
ONCE a week you are allowed to/should introduce lean cuts of the meat previously not allowed: pork and lamb.
ONCE a week: carb meal: max 200gr cooked weight wholemeal pasta, brown rice, potatoes (in that order of preference). I also like quinoa and WM couscous. 200gr is actually a huge portion and hardly any of us managed to finish it, so take it easy! It's 80gr dried weight for pasta & rice.
one celebration meal a week - I would treat that as a 'normal meal' rather than an OTT celebration. A meal that you would otherwise not get. I had lasagne yesterday
with a salad. And a nice home made pudding. but only one normal helping of each. And ONE glass of wine / beer / whatever. Some people use celebration meals for social occasions and restaurant visits etc. It could be breakfast too, but only ONE meal, not a whole day! And have at least a day between the carb meal and the celebration meal.
You'll have to keep planning you food as before - good luck!

They aren't optional - the idea is to reintroduce carbs and fat into the diet in very precise easily measured quantities.
