You asked about CAD/CALP. There is a CAD/CALP forum on the board. I suggest you go there and read and read some of the journals of people posting on the forum. I also suggest that you go to the Hellers website and take the Carbohydrate Addict test. This test will tell you if you fit their profile and if their diet will be helpful for you.

A carbohydrate addict as the Hellers define functions well with carbohydrates in his/her diet except that ingesting carbs creates additional hunger and cravings for more and more carbs, insulin resistance and rapid weight gain. They control insulin resistance and weight gain by concentrating carbs in one meal and for any other meal carbs are minimal. Therefore, the carbohydrate addict can have the carbs they need to function without weight gain and lose weight and maintain their loss.

From your posting, you sound like a classic carbohydrate addict to me (just my opinion) and their plan might be helpful to you.
