I am an "all or nothing" person....CAD would never work for me. It would be like nicotine patches to cure smoking....I would still be addicted to carbs for one meal a day, no thank you. I broke my carb addiction and I feel wonderful, I don't need a reward meal, I need a reward pair of skinny jeans!! I realize it does work for some people but I am a severe carb addict and I must abstain forever.
