Yes, I was on Atkins. I tried CAD and broke my 9-month stall. After falling off the wagon during my son's illness, climbing back on..getting knowcked off between Christmas and New Year's..I'm back, and chose CAD again since it worked so well for me before. I can lose on much higher levels of carbs than I ever did on Atkins.

Anyway, I have the latest edition of CAD, and it has several options based on your weight loss on the 2 cm +RM plan. The one I'm currently using is the 2 cm and a rm, but if my loss slows, I may switch to the 2 cm and rm+salad(you start your rm with a salad, THEN have your 1/3's balanced meal) or even the 1 CM and RM plan. I find myself not hungry some days, and one cm actually keeps me full most of the day.

I lost the most on 1 cm, 1cs, and rm with salad.

It's hard to explain, but it's all based on how much you lost the week before and whether you want to lose faster or slow it down a notch.

I also would recommend you start with the 2 cm's and a rm, and see what happens.
