kgy, sounds like you are getting the hang of it. i havent cheated on it, this was day five and i cheated today. i just dont like eating this way. IT DOES REALLY WORK, though. my stomach growling has subsided and i get wait longer to eat my meals. i just am afraid i am forming new bad habits. some days i would only eat one protein meal, skip a meal, than eat junk like pizza or french fries for my reward meal then some candy after wards.

i have learned from this experiment though. proteins definitly suppress the appetite and i use the reward meal to eat junk. this will not work in the long run. i am not eating healthy. so i am not going to continue to do cad. i just want everyone to know cad does work, i just dont want to eat this way for the rest of my life. i think i want to do ww pts, but choose to spend lots of points on more protiens than carbs. if this works for me i will be back to let you all know how i am doing. good luck to all of you.

hey guys, i have been doing cad since thurs, and i thought i didnt want to do it anymore, so this morning i was going to try to do something else, but guess what, i didnt want any carbs this morning, i guess i am getting used to eating this way, i will try my hardest to not eat junk at my reward meal. could it possibly be??, am i really getting rid of my carb addiciton??? we shall see. i will try it again today!!

Shall I start a new thread for CAD/CALP? This one is getting a bit long.

yes, i guess so ruth, but i am afraid i wont be joining it. i made my reward meal a one hour carb binge, it is just the kind of bingeing i need to change. the protien and veggie meals are getting old too. this does work, but i fear i am using the cad way of eating to give me an excuse to keep on eating the junk that got me overweight in the first place, but instead of eating it all day i am limiting it to an hr a day, this , to me is not good healthy eating habits, so i guess this really isnt for me. i will be adding alot more protiens as cad has proved to me that protiens are natural appetite suppressants, for me anyway, but i just dont like the having carbs once a day, i know this is how a carb addict can possibly be cured, but i just dont want to have to eat like this. i hope i can control my eating by changing a few things and use some of the stuff i learned by being on cad. good luck to all. i will let you all know how i am doing.
