My knowledge of Stillmans was that it was intended to be temporary, not long term. I'd be interested in checking out Donaldson's just to gain some understanding of an actual lifestyle based on meat only....Kiwi, do you have a link to it?

Hey- this is a POSITIVE thread that is about what we, maintainers, who have successfully lost weight (and in some cases kept it off a while) have done. There are lots of paths on this journey- this thread is an exploration of some of them. It is fascinating to me how different we are, and what we have in common. I can read about all kinds of other stuff lots of places on this site- this is not bashing anyone- this is for those of us in it for the long haul.
For me, SBD is a great plan for others! It is too similar to the way I used to eat to work for me. All I know is CALP works, and if it ain't broke don't fix it. Almost 3 years, and still going strong.

I find the differences fascinating too....if I wanted to hear/talk about only PPLP, I'd be primarily at their website, and I have found when exchanging information for the purpose of learning and supporting each other, that the plan of choice doesn't really matter that much. There does seem to be enough common ground in the LC lifestyle as a whole for us to share in support.
Eno, what exactly is CALP?

I see many people fail on SBD and I think that many of them jump to add bread back into their plans way too fast!! I still eat bread as a treat once in a while but for the most part, I avoid flour and will continue to avoid flour.

Judy, as a SBer, what is your take on the prepared SB dinners? I'm seeing a lot of those in my grocery store, and some of them don't look half bad with the carb level fitting into what I can have in maintenance.
Not to live off of completely, of course, but in moderation as a break from cooking now and then.
I've been skeptical of Atkin's products and found some to even contain transfats.
