I'm new to the low-carbohydrate dieting myself. My husband and I started 2 1/2 months ago - beginning with the Atkins Diet. We loved the Atkins Diet and I think we both got a good kick-start with it. I even think I got over my addiction to caffeine because of it! But, with our schedule, it didn't work too well for us. We have four small children (8 mo, 3 yrs, 4 1/2 and 6 1/2). We've found that the Carbohydrate Addicts works best for us because we can sit down as a family and eat "normal" for one meal out of the day. I've lost 16 pounds and my husband has lost 24! But, as the others have said -- it's personal choice. I feel that with CAD I can stay on track for the rest of my life.
