This is a great thread, thanks! I want to add that when I am doing strict Atkins and I eat something with a little too many carbs at one time I get a sugar rush - I actually get a high feeling that lasts about 1/2 hour. For some reason I do not get that now since I started CAD last week. It's strange, because at my RM I am eating a lot more carbs than I did on Atkins but not getting the sugar rush even if I eat a dessert at my RM. Anyway, I'm taking that as a positive sign that I'm doing this right and that my body is responding to it.

Hi I'm also a Atkins dieter. I lost alot of weight when I first attempted atkins. I got down to my goal weight but regain it all back after I got pregnant again. Every since then it's been a roller coaster. But I'm back down again doing the atkins which took much longer to arrive from my first try. (160lbs from 215lbs) But I'm back down to a good weight. Now I want to keep it off but I've been reading on the Cad diet and really want to try it to reach my ultimid goal weight of 145lbs. But like of atkins you lose body fat so fast that you look smaller even if you are not losing weight. I tried to do cad one week but I like many other didn't get the book or have much infor. on it. So during my RM I binged and found myself worst off then before I tried cad. But after reading allot of info on how to balance the RM I will give it another try. Where do we get the cad list of food? And how much fat is allowed when you do the protien meals? Can you tell me how much exercise is required for the CAD?

Malisa,

When I first heard of this plan I didn't know anything about CAD. I happened to pick up the CALP book and have come to the conclusion that this is the plan for me.

When I loaned my CALP book to a friend and never got it back, DH ordered me another one. He ordered the wrong book and I ended up with CAD. As soon as I discovered it was the wrong book, he ordered me the correct one. I never opened CAD until recently because I was curious to know the difference between the two. I prefer CALP because it is straight forward and easy to comprehend.

I know you can be successful on this program but feel rather strongly you should pick up one of the books. If you do not want to invest in your own copy, borrow one at your local library.

This is my second time on CALP and the second time I purchased my own copy. It is an invaluable resource and one that you will refer to many times.

This is a great thread for someone that has read the books but, IMO, it does not contain enough information for those that are beginning the program.

Hi,
Still wondering what bumping means?
Anyway, thanks to the folks who stopped by and said hello--I'm waiting for the book to arrive via post (ordered thru Amazon)...planning to start in earnest following the TG holiday weekend.
I made a soup this past weekend? Butternut squash--all that's in it is the squash, chicken broth and onions sauteed in oil--is that an ok thing for this plan?

"bumping" means you bring the post to the top of more recent posts.

I'm not the poster to whom you addressed your question, but I recently bought a box of Truvia packets at the grocery store, and I'd say after using it about a week, maybe 4 times, that I think it tastes good.

I no longer drink coffee or tea, so have no idea what it tastes like in hot drinks.

But sprinkled over a quarter cup of cooked rolled oats, it tastes fine.

I keep my box in the basement, on the opposite side of the house to the kitchen, so that anytime I use it, I have to go and get it - I don't trust having it readily available.

I think the box said that Truvia is manufactured by Cargill.
