It would be very worth doing to see how you react to many various foods, and help you determine the best eating program for your body. You wrote you think you are more "sensitive" to carbs and so not successful on Atkins, and are switching to CAD. Some other comments in previous posts indicate blood glucose (BG) dysregulation, as low blood sugar, hypoglycemia, high BG and diabetes are on a spectrum. You can get a meter and 100 strips for $20-25...great investment at this point. I use it often...eat to your meter is a helpful tool for any diet.

My suggestion would be to follow one of these tests below, and then also start testing after your typical meals. After a typical LC breakfast and lunch, then after one of your "reward meals" with higher carb levels and see what happens with various foods. Do you have a BG crash 2-3 hours after pasta or bread dinner? If you add a fruit dessert does that reduce or drive cravings? A meter can you "find your foods" not just diagnose BG problems.

Chris Kresser uses a lunch meal: http://chriskresser.com/how-to-prev...disease-for-16/. (Read his part 1 also) A bagel with no fat almost a sure bet for a high, then low pattern, but helpful to know your levels as a start, and then test other timings and meals.
