I did Atkins for a long time, but ran out of energy, and couldn't master systematically increasing carbs. I didn''t think I would stand a chance on CALP because I thought I would be totally out of control in the RM and never get under control again. On the contrary, I find that I have no major problems with the RM. My appetite is under control always (unless I do something very stupid, separate discussion!). Generally I am quite disciplined about the RM - I start with my salad, have equal portions of veggie, protein & carb. I plan my carbs to be special things that I like a lot & missed on Atkins - such as fresh strawberry shortcake today. Occasionally I have something way unbalanced for my RM - on special occasions, dining out or at a friends, social club at work, or whatever. My hard & fast rule for these times is to finish within an hour. I have a salad first if practical.
I am not losing, but I didn't lose on Atkins. But this is a program that I can live with and my appetite and energy levels are under control, so I'm happy!
