I kind of alternate Atkins w/ CAD. I don't eat red meat & don't always get enough calories with Atkins, plus I really miss pizza, pasta, & sandwiches. So, some days I'll be strict & say "no carbs" strict Atkins. Other days (weekends, special events) I'll try to follow a slightly tainted CAD plan. I've been losing pretty well lately & I think it's good to shuffle things up a little bit. My boss lost A LOT of weight (it would be impolite to ask how much ) on CAD & was the one who introduced me to it. The biggest downfall most people have with CAD is losing control at their reward meal. If you can keep that under control you'll lose weight.
