That you only have to worry about sticking strictly to the list of CM-acceptable foods, the Hellers have already done the work for us of figuring out what works. I believe that most of the foods on that list would work out to be lower in fat, but not necessarily (like bacon, for instance). So long as you stick to that list of foods, your insulin should not rise and you can then enjoy a nice reward meal.

You probably already realize.. peanuts aren't on CAD for anytime other than reward meals. And be careful that the veggies you use are CM approved too, since Atkins has lots that are RM only for us.

Good luck with CAD if you decide to try it. It really is a simple program once you get into the swing of it
