My wife and I have been following a LC plan somewhere between Atkins and Protein Power. This past week, with some knowledge of CALP, we vacationed in Nashville. We knew that we would go beyond the carb levels we had been at (usually around 30g to 40g per day).

Well, we did not exactly follow CALP, but we probably kept the carbs to around 100g or less per day. I ended up gaining two pounds and my wife gained none. Having been back for two days, I lost the weight I gained.

But the trip to Nashville was sort of a message to me that CALP is OK. I am sure had I followed CALP, I would not have gained the two pounds. But I am still a bit hesitant to take the CALP plunge.

Who knows, perhaps some day I will. This has been a helpful thread.

Thanks,

Bobby
