Just wondering if anyone else is doing the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet?
I'm on my second week - lost 3 lbs first week and I'm liking it. I don't feel deprived as I know I can have what I want at my "Reward Meal".
I'm "cheating" a bit because I'm a lifetime member of Weight Watchers and I'm going to the meeting just for the support. It's just good for me to hear what others are challenged with.
any support is what i term good support!! great job. i tried cad and found that my reward meal kept getting longer and longer and then ir reached in tho 2 meals and well you can guess...
I lost 40 pounds on CAD 3 years ago but I decided now to go with Adkins. That reward meal is just not restrictive enough for me. I also tended to go too long and not balance the meal as I should have. Instead of 1/3 carbs, 1/3 protein, and 1/3 low carb veggies I was doing about 3/4 carbs and 1/4 whatever.
If you can watch yourself at reward time then you will really like this diet and do good on it.
Thanks for the info. It's only my second week so I've been doing fine with the 60 min time limit, but I can see where it can go longer, especially at a party.

Hi Felicia & nice to "meet" you!
I'm a long time CAD'er! I can't imagine any other OP woe'ing! I've been very fortunate not to have any problems with the reward meal and truly believe it's why I was able to stay on it for soooooo many years successfully.
Surrounding yourself with any form of positive support is great! I wish that was the only kind of "cheating" I knew! lol
Looking forward to getting to know you!
