I am Molly, I am a Carb Addict
Who here recommends CAD/CALP and why? Can it possibly work as well as Atkins?
You see, I am having a very hard time due to a few factors that have put a huge road block in my ability to low-carb at all. I do believe that Atkins or PP are the best way to go if one can; however, I live with my folks after my divorce and have been self employed which has left me at a lack of funds for groceries. My well meaning folks buy most of the food and what they get is what I and my two kids have to eat. My dad does get me tuna and canned chicken. I have lots of fresh eggs and/or cheese for breakfast too. My mom cooks for my dad and makes a variety of foods that are not low-carb. (I cook sometimes but usually my mom prefers to cook.) After trying to follow Atkins (usually budget and temptation derailed me,) I have a hard time believing having a bit of potato with even a small dessert would allow weight loss; yet I see all sorts of you posting great stats! I remember reading Atkins books about glycogen in our muscles keeping the body from burning fat. It would be a wonderful thing if CAD/CALP seems to not effect this. I plan to try this for six weeks anyway and see how it works for me. I think in my situation this would be a much better way to go than to be victim of my own addiction which I have for so long. I have high bp and get out of breath walking from car to the store. I must do something!
I have the CAD/CALP book in storage but can't get to it. I will try to remember all teh rules and study up from the internet. What about Splenda in coffee in the am? Good or bad? Exercise: yes or now and when?
Thanks!
This site is wonderful.
