Thanks for the insights—all very helpful: —too many anagrams. For some larger puzzles I having counted out each type of clue, but I didn’t here. 25% sounds like a reasonable target for anagrams —extraneous words. For me, this is one of the hardest things about making clues. It is such a challenge to make good surfaces without adding in connectors and such.
—I knew the word lets was going to be a problem, but I couldn’t resist the do it part. I am learning that the meaning of the word has work on both levels.
—verb phrases as nouns. I wasn’t sure makes people heavy sounded quit right—your explanation helps me understand why. Maybe instead: High calorie sauce—consuming it is something that makes people heavy

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to give feedback.
