Hi Jo,
As Sue said, there are lots of us here doing CAD or CALP (Carbohydrate Addicts Lifespan Program). I do CAD and love it. It's the best plan I've ever been on. So far I've lost 31 pounds and feel pretty darn good. I have a lot to go, but since I've tried every diet known to womankind, I know this is the best one for me. I find this easier to stay on that most plans because I never feel deprived. I can have whatever I want at the Reward Meal which goes a very long way in keeping me content. I very rarely cheat because my carb cravings are virtually gone and if for some reason I am craving something I can have it at the RM. I also like that fact that you don't have to count anything. I have always hated doing that stuff - weighing, measuring, figuring points or grams or whatever. To me that makes a plan feel so "diety" whereas this feels like how I'm supposed to eat.
I have read where a lot of people have trouble with the Reward Meal though. Some people find that they go way overboard and don't lose any weight. Luckily for me, that's not a problem even though I enjoy dessert and a glass of wine almost every night. I think it's like any plan in that it works for some, but not others.
So, that's my rather long 2 cents worth. If you give it a try there are all sorts of us here with experience and advice to help you along.
