Hi there,

I am 42 and have succeeded at every diet I've ever tried (and I've tried them all)..... Until I ultimately fail and gain it all back.



I feel best eating LC/primal style, but honestly I just can't give up grains/sweets completely. I feel best grain/dairy free, but can't seem to sustain it. And it makes me feel like I am failing at yet another diet. So disheartening...

Looking at CALP as a potential, I am re-reading the book. I had success on CAD in my early 30s (ten years ago or so), but I used my one hour RM as a one hour binge. But of all the 'diets' I've tried, I maintained a healthy weight on CAD for over 2 years.


Ugh sorry to be so negative, but just feel I can't face yet another diet and another failure.

Any good links or threads you can recommend?

Any comments you'd like to add?
