Hey Gakak!
Celina is located in north central TN just about 15 miles inside the line from KY. Dale Hollow Dam (which my grandpa helped build) is located there.
I started with CAD because a friend of mine was doing it several years ago. I thought "Hey, if I can lose weight and still eat cake if I want to, I'm in!" But I was not able to find the answers to some of my questions in the book. I found this site and learned from senior members that the CALP book had more information (really just an updated version of CAD). So I guess really I'm a CALPER.
I like this WOE because I have not had to give up ANYTHING I like. I only need to watch WHEN I eat it. Also, I don't have to keep track of numbers of anything (total carbs, etc.) like with Atkins. From the posts I've read on Atkins, the first few weeks of weight loss is much quicker than CAD (or CALP), but, I would much rather lose it slowly and surely than quickly again and worry about a quick re-gain in the future. I did become discouraged the first few weeks because of the slow loss of weight, but the "seniors" helped me understand that it was normal.
Hope this helped!!!!!!!!
