According to the Hellers, when you spread carbs throughout the day or eat more than 4 times a day, in a Carbohydrate Addict (CA), this causes multiple and recurring insulin surges and carb cravings.

Also there are trigger/higher carb foods that are allowed on the other lc plans that are not allowed on CAD/CALP at other than the Reward Meal because they can cause increased appetite/cravings, i.e. broccoli, avocados, nuts, low GI fruits, AS (more than 3/day), sugarless gum, coffee with cream throughout the day. Therefore, when you get off induction and start adding back in some of the carbier vegetables or other than allowed CAD/CALP foods and spreading them throughout the day, you (CA) cause increased hunger/cravings and accompanying weight stall/gain. You (CA) find you have the need to eat every two hours and are often hungry and unsatisfied.

Many CAs on CAD/CALP only eat 2-3 times a day. Once their insulin is under control, they just are not hungry more often.
