Hi everyone! I'm new to low-carb eating, and to this forum. This looks like an great thread. I hope no one minds if I join in.

I've been doing CALP for 4 weeks now. I've lost ten pounds and feel super. The only sad part is that it took me so long to find this WOE. Having tried Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, and other diets, I know now that the reason I couldn't stick with them for more than two weeks was that my carb addiction made me feel hungry all the time.

Next week, we are going to a family wedding in Ann Arbor, MI, and then I'll be visiting my parents in NYC. I'm sure that it will be difficult to stay on the plan while travelling, and would love to hear what has worked for you.

Thanks, and happy low-carbing!
