hey galkeepinon, I think there is an OA subgroup, sort of, called OA How and they do follow a particular food plan that does require them to refrain from white flour and sugar, which definitely are trigger foods.
I stayed off all refined foods before for five years before I started living with my husband. I lost 62lbs over 3 years and kept it off for the next two. I thought I had it whipped.
I move in with my meat and potatoe husband ( and cookies and candy and chips ) and I gained 20 back in the first 5 months. So I know staying off the flour and sugar stuff can have a huge impact. I lived alone when I ate like that so I had a lot of control over my enviroment and kept all that refined food out of my house. I didn't call it a diet at the time - but a health food kick. Ah, the struggles formerly fat and the formally skinny!
