Hi fellow CADs
I lost 52 lbs on CAD 4 years ago. It took me 2 years to gain it back, then I lost again on WW and Michael Thurmond. I lost 80 lbs this time, but had wandered off into LA-LA land and was living on Hershey Nuggets once again. I got on the scale the day after Christmas and had gained back 15 lbs., so instead of waiting until New Years, I junped right onto Atkins induction and I've dropped 9 lbs in 3 days. I'm going to switch to CAD as soon as the loss levels off. CAD is slow, but it works and I think it is because we can plan for those foods we crave so much. I think we sabotage ourselves with little things. I know last time I started having endulge bars during the day, or a handful of nuts - you know- low carb 'extras', but a calorie is still a calorie. Add them up. There is a delicate balance between keeping the metabolism burning and losing or maintaining or even gaining. Go back and read your journal and eat the same things that you were eating when you were losing.
When I stall, I do Atkins induction for 3 days. It always gets me going again.
