Hi all, enjoying all of your good posts. I am doing CAD and having
to take it one day at a time. Somedays I do better than others.
But the scales, tho very slowly are going in the other direction.
Compared to the way I was eating before CAD guess they have
to. If I don't do so good one day I am not going to give up, and
just give it another try the next day, until I can get these cravings and tummy growlings under control. A question, on decaf
black coffee, is it just at meal times or can it be anytime?
I have drank decaf for years because of blood pressure.
And I don't like anything in it but coffee.

You can have decaf coffee any time as long as it's just coffee, no cream or AS.

Well, this cad thing is just wonderful. I can't believe it. For the first time in my life I am eating three meals a day with no snacking in between, my appetitie is in control, and I don't feel deprived at all. Yesterday I had a six inch subway sandwich for my reward meal, and it filled me up. I felt like I should eat something sweet( because its my reward meal)but I really didn't even want it. I ended up eating a small pastry, but I could have easily done without. Ha, when I think back to only last week when I would lay on the couch and eat three or four pastries, followed by icecream etc etc.. It controls your snacking at night(You know, in front of the tv, reading a book) and I feel such a relief knowing that this is my plan for the rest of my life. It;s not even a diet, it's a miracle. It takes away the feeling of deprivation that you feel on all the other diets, and I find that when it's time for my reward meal(despite big plans of pasta and sweets and cakes) I can't even eat that much, and I end up eating a sensible dinner with a light dessert. Just got off atkins a while ago, couldn't stick with it. Too deprived. I recommend this to anyone. And if you ever hit a plateau, how about some exercise... best of luck everyone
