Hi, All,

I'm new to this forum, and doing well on CAD after trying and failing with Atkins, the Zone, and Protein Power. It's not that those plans didn't work for weight loss, it's that I could not stick to them for even an entire week without cheating.

I never had much more than ten pounds to lose, but I had horrible carbohydrate cravings and binges, and I had to eat every two hours.

I'm happy to say I can now easily go up to six hours without eating (and this has NEVER happened to me before!) I love this plan, but I have some questions/fears about coming to the end of the weight loss part of it and moving into maintenance (I think I'd like to lose three to five more pounds - those last couple of inches around my waist).

I think in the book I have (CAD) the authors just say that the weight loss stops automatically when you reach your ideal weight, and that if it doesn't, you just need to add one CM snack. Is this correct? What has been your own experience?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer,

Eve
