Thank you all for your help. It has been very valuable in getting my husband and me started with CAD. I have a question, though. (Yes, another one.) My husband has trouble with his bowels which worsened after he had his gallbladder out several years ago. He said yesterday that eating frequently keeps them going smoothly, and that if he can only eat four times a day that he won't be able to stick with CAD.

Do any of you have similar issues where you have to eat more than four times daily for whatever reason? Does that still work for weight loss? I want my husband to stay on CAD, but I can certainly understand that he doesn't want diarrhea every day.
