oh my gosh... thank you so much for this thread!!

I've been a total turtle, mostly due to my wee obsession with sugar alcohols. So, some people over in Atkins suggested I try CAD. But I'm scared to death that it won't work for me, and I'll gain!! After all, Atkins is working, but I'm at 15g of carbs a day (excluding the sweeteners) and only losing 2 or fewer pounds a week, inconsistantly.

I suppose it's one of those "leap of faith" things, like Atkins was initially after doing Powter's low-fat.

Meep!
