Hey, I'm here. I started CALP about 2 years ago & lost 50 pounds. I don't post as often, but still check back occasionally. What's really amazing to me is that the weight has mostly stayed off, even when I stopped strictly following the diet. This is IMO a big difference from diets like Atkins that have huge immediate weight loss followed by huge weight gain after going off the diet. This is truly the only diet that has worked for me & I can't recommend it enough. Now I still try to follow the general principles of balancing meals & managing insulin levels & it still works. My insulin levels went from pre-diabetic to normal on CALP. IMO this diet saved me from diabetes & I can't thank the Hellers enough.
