Unhappy Panicking: please help me!!!

Hello people!!

I've been following CAD and have already posted this on the CAD forum, but am hoping for ideas and views from everybody so I'm re-posting it here. Please help me I'm really panicking!!!!

Up until thursday I'd been on CAD for over a month. In that month I only cheated once (real cheat), the rest of the time, apart from overdoing it at my RM, i was practically perfect. Up to a certain point I lost and then regained the same 2 pounds over and over again, then I re-committed and tried harder and started to bloat and put on weight. By thursday night both feet looked like they had sprained they were so swollen and I'd gone up 3 pounds.

Friday I decided to "eat normal": yoghurt for breakfast, yoghurt mid-morning, pasta for lunch, whatever for dinner, etc.. Half way through the afternoon I started to use the bathroom and couldn't stop and by evening my feet had gone back to normal after more than a week of bloating. The morning after I weighed myself and had lost a pound and a half.

I spoke to a nutritionist who told me that the RM and no other carbs all day had completely blocked my metabolism and my body wasn't prepared to give up a thing, not even water. As soon as it realised I'd started to eat constantly again with snacks and carbs spread throughout the day it started to relax again. By the way, friday night I went to gym and was nearly bursting through the roof with a new found energy and I upped all my weights a lot.

The thing is that with CAD I had found control, I had found great digestion and a solution to stomach problems. I've been back to "normal" eating since friday and so far so good, but I don't know how long it'll last. Normally my insulin takes a few days of "normal" eating to go crazy. Must I change woe? Go back to PP although I was far less happy on it? Any suggestions? Tomorrow I have an appointment with this nutritionist (BF has been nagging me to go so I said OK) but I have the sneaking suspicion that he may not be illuminated!!!

Ideas, views, comments?
Thanks
C.
