Abie, I've done countless BFL challenges, both LC and by the book, and I agree with Lila, the carbs that Bill is touting are because he's from main stream - although his carb choices are pretty good (low glycemic and he would prefer it if we didn't use bread). I think if you've been LCing a while you could handle the exercise, but if you haven't then you might find you need higher carbs throughout the day, or right before/after a workout.
The only hesitation I would have suggesting BFL with CAD is the fact that CAD is geared toward having only 3 (or 2) meals a day - this does not jive with weight lifting. To support the work that you do lifting heavy weights to failure you need to eat every 3 to 4 hours, this comes down to 5-6 times a day. The protein, delivered this way, is what makes the results possible - 70-80% of the results from any exercise plan are derived from the nutrition. The actual sweat and hard work accounts for roughly 25% of your end product.
In any event, best of luck to you - and you might want to check out the BFL forum over in the Exercise area of this site!
