Hi Scooby2,
I've read both books, done both programs. Nasus is right, CALP stresses balanced reward meals and I think is more structured. I, however, follow CAD. I love not having to have such a diet mentality when it comes to my reward meal. I pretty much eat whatever I want then. It's a really nice payoff for staying OP all day and I very rarely go off program because of the reward meal. The one hour limit is very important, whichever one you choose. I find if I start messing with that, my losses stop. I know from these boards that CAD doesn't work for some people and CALP does, but it works for me, so I'm sticking with it. I find that I naturally want some of the things that really are healthy for me at my reward meal. Of course, I usually have a glass of wine and something sweet too! This really and truly is a plan for the rest of my life. I hope you'll try whichever one sounds like you and give it at least a couple of weeks.
