Fosca, Welcome to CAD/CALP

I think CALP is better than Atkins because you never feel deprived, so threfore, it so much easier to stick with it. You will be amazed how well you feel on CALP. You won't be hungry nor will you have any cravings. It is a great plan, as long as you use common sense with your RM. It will definitely help your cravings. You will be in control and it is such a wonderful feeling. You will never feel deprived because you know you can have something good at your RM.

Let us know if there is anything we can help you with. Good Luck and post often.
