Samina, welcome!

Most of us follow the Carbohydrate Addict's Lifespan Program around here. It sounds as if you are following the Carbohydrate Addict's Diet, which was the first book published.

I believe that CAD can be an easy diet to follow for some people, but it would not work for me because it would be too easy for me to overeat carbs. CALP is super simple to follow because you include protein and veggies in your CMs which can keep you satisfied for hours. The RM always begins with two cups of salad and then divide your plate into thirds and include the same amount of protein, veggies, and carbs. You can have more food if you are still hungry but you must keep it balanced and add more protein, veggies, and carbs.

May I suggest you visit your local library and pick up the CALP book since the information it has to offer can be extremely helpful. The book is also available at Amazon.

I wish you well and hope the program works as well for you as it does for me!
