Wawtigress,

Thanks for your welcome! I was also on Atkins too - for 6 months. I ended up with a net GAIN of 2kgs by the end of it, so that was not successful for me. I also found it to be very depriving - I love to be able to eat a "normal" RM on CALP and thus, for me that is why I have been able to stick with it longer than any other WOE I have ever been on. This is why different plans have been developed - there is no "cookie-cutter" solution for everyone!

I would be pleased to check out your journal. I am considering starting one here too. I feel I have the "rules" of CALPing down very well since I've been doing it for so long. I am also a member of 2 other CAD e-lists, one moderated by a woman who is a personal friend of the Hellers, so she gets answers to questions straight from the horses mouth, so to speak.

So nice to "meet" you!
