I tried CAD and did okay. I found myself out of balance and soon off the wagon. For me because of my own addiction something like CAD is too tempting and I can't handle the temptation. Aussiemike, Congrats on your 32 pounds. Feels great doesn't it? Stick with the plan that works for you. Don't let anyone tell you your wrong or their way is better. There are a lot of paths to the same place. Good on you for finding yours.
