Wawtigress,
I appreciate your concern and I am here to tell you that if I was not feeling well in the least I would be altering my diet or seeing a doctor. I believe that I am an example of someone who gained quite a bit of weight over a relatively short period of time (last year I gained 30 lbs) the year before I gained 30 lbs and this was because my diet of almost all carbs. I tried low fat but no loss. I am a vegetarian and have been very dependent on carbs. Of course this makes me more hungry and though I do not eat large portions I can gain rapidly because of the frequency of carbs. My Doc already checked my thyroid hoping that could explain the gain. When I look back at the thin moments of my life I see one common theme. One meal a day. I just didn't know that I could add in the low carb foods the other meals and not be hungry. I do NOT starve myself but follow the CALP plan to the letter.
You mention once I get off this plan.... I wont be getting off this plan as this is the only way I can be a healthy fit weight.
I have noticed that my nails are growing rapidly and though my whole office has been ill this winter I am one of the 2 that haven't. I trust my intuition about my body and I trust that it is doing just fine. To answer your question about timing: I have been on CALP since January 12th.
Again, I appreciate your concern but I do believe everybody is different and our bodies do know best. I hear loud and clear that mine is finding its ideal weight and running much better without those carbs.
