I'm now beginning week 5 of CAD and doing great. I don't even think about cheating.

I've lost about 10 lbs and don't feel deprived at all. I, personally, haven't had success on Atkin's as it's way to restrictive for my personality. I have to have some carbs to feel like I'm living.

Do what works best for you. Cad isn't hard to understand (at least for me it isn't). Very lo carb for 2 meals, one Reward Meal that you are allowed to indulge a little.

Just wanted to update you, since my weight loss did pick up some. I seem to have, what they call "wooshes", where you don't lose for days on end and then WOOSH! Off come 2 or 3 lbs. Okay. If that's the way it works, it'll work for me.

Good luck!
