I read through most of this thread. It made me think about the difference between people who do Atkins or other similar diets and thrive and the people who do Atkins and spiral out of control after a few weeks. Maybe the people who thrive on the full Atkins program (not just Induction) are the people who didn't binge on carbs even before they started low-carb eating. Maybe those people aren't really carb addicts.

So, I was reminded of Chapter 4 in the Atkins book. He talks about the 3 types of people who need to control carbs. Group A is the group with a metabolic issue- they are able to control the amount of food they eat (no binging); Group B is the carb addiction group- they are the people who binge and eat and eat and eat; Group C is the group with food allergies.

Guess what group I fall into? Group B. Perhaps CAD is for that group? What do you think?
