Just reading through this thread and wanted to add my thoughts. First I also find this a way of living the I can handle. The reward meal is not an obsession but whatever we are having- though I do find we eat more beans, cabbage and broccoli and less corn.peas and carrots than before. Secondly,I like the fact that the reward meal can be any meal of my choice on any given day - no set pattern, so I always feel in control.It is my decision to eat the full meal or the craving reducing meal at breakfast, dinner or supper. I love the flexability!
Good luck to all you fellow CALPer's
