i remember richard and rachael on oprah back in 98 or 99 when the CAD was gaining tremendous popularity. i remember oprah asking them about the reward meal and she asked them if people could have anything they wanted and they both replied yes. she asked again in disbelief and they both said yes again.

now they have totally taken that philosophy out of the diet and i do think that is a good thing. but what do you think was the impetus to this change? was it flack from the people on the diet? flack from the scientific community? i've always wondered about this.

cheers,
