trying to combine cad with ww. i was on both before. when i am on ww pts. i tend to spend all my pts on carbs, i do lose weight but am often hungry. i know i cant do atkins , to strict for me. when i was on cad befoe i ate way to much at my reward meal.


so i was thinking if i was on ww pts i would have to stick within my pts limit and that would help me control my portions at my reward meal?? what do you think??

i would love any and all opinions . good or bad. i would really appreciate it.

oh i did start going back to ww meetings on jan3 so my first weigh in is on wed night. but i will start posting my weight on thurs morn. i am doing good so far with ww, but like i said i am hungry. and , i know this is no excuse and i have been keeping it under control, but i am pmsing. i am not using that for an excuse anymore.

You are spending all your points on carbs? Carbs make me hungry but protein keeps me cool. Eggs for breakfast take me through the morning whereas a bagel has me "starving" by 11 a.m.

To combine WW with CAD you need to trade off carb for protein/fat points. It's hard to do but can be done. WW Week 6 explains this and officially sanctions it. However, I see no reason not to start earlier - just don't argue it with your WW leader or he/she will freak.

How many points are you allowed per day? Post a typical menu and we will critique with suggestions.

thanks ruthxxx, i will tell you tomorrow what i decide to eat. and thanks for the advice about my ww meeting, i had no intention of mentioning it to her. i know it wont be easy, but i need to not be hungry. i need to stop the cravings. i am doing good, like i said, but today i was really hungry and grabbed a whole handful of potato chips. i felt out of control. and i have been in control since jan 3, with the exception of some hunger pangs, that i did manage to ignore. i am allowed 22-27 pts on ww a day.
