I was just on CAD over a month ago, and though I didn't gain weight, I didn't lose either. I also couldn't get the cravings to stop and I was seeing myself eating more "sweet" things than healthy things at my reward meal. I need limitations so Atkins works the best for me. I do think that I'll be doing CAD when I'm closer to my goal. By then I will not have had sweets for a long time and maybe my sweetness cravings will be easier to handle.
