Since you are at goal and probably in maintenance I would think it might work for you IF you are a carb addict. Not everyone is. Take the test and find out.

I feel much more in control of my emotions, my food, everything since starting CAD in Jan.

I think being at goal makes it a bit harder to feel the need and have the motivation to stick to a very strict woe, but Cad might give you the flexibility you're looking for. You really won't know until you give it a try. As far as the mood swings, I think it would be a better solution as the "cheating" brings the guilt package with it that feeds the mood. Also, your glucose will be more stable as you won't be cheating all day, just having your RM once a day. Makes a big difference.

Congratulations on being at your goal. That's great.
