I'm about to take mine out to the shed and beat it with a willow switch.

Hi everybody
I'm new here, and this is my first post but I'm very excited about the CAD and just finished the book two nights ago. So I hope you all won't mind if I make a quick observation about weight loss.

In the book they say to AVERAGE your weight loss over a week. Even this small tidbit was a real eye-opener for me as I have been tracking my weight daily for more than a month (low carbing with a couple of unfortunate cheating episodes therein) and couldn't make heads or tails of the weight fluctuations. When I averaged my weight over that month I could see easily that I was losing about a pound a half per week (I was exercising vigorously 5-6 days a week, too though).

When I finally deliberately added carbs back into my diet I, too, gained a couple lbs over night. However, since I use a Tanita bodyfat scale I could easily see that I had NOT gained fat. My bf % stayed the same, so obviously it was water weight.

The only that I am worried about on CAD is being able to kill carb cravings the next day. Have to wait and see I guess!

Hope advice from a newbie won't upset anyone! :-)
Take care and happy losses!
