Hi, there, CC.....glad you're looking at CALP....it's a great program, and IMHO, much better than Atkins.
It is very much different from Atkins, and you really should get the book, if only from the library or a friend. The entire notion of counting carbs is out the window w/ CALP!
Don't go out and hunt it down and drag it back in again.....that is very counterproductive, not to mention hard on the fingernails.
Zules gave you the cheat sheet to get you started, but that's only a start. You need to really absorb the philosophy of CALP and forget everything you ever learned about Atkins to actually get a successful start. The two plans are not interchangable!
CALP is simple to understand, simple to practice. Give yourself the best possible chance to succeed by reading and rereading the book.
None of the Hellers' books are expensive, especially in paperback, so go for it! You're worth it.
You do not have to avoid eating
anything "carbolishious". You just eat it no more than once a day in a balanced meal. So get past the deprivation mindset and start living again! Once you get into harmony w/ your body, you won't have to white-knuckle it around sugar, candy, pasta, bread, pies, cakes, cookies, puddings, potatoes, gravy, stuffing, rice, yams, corn on the cob......do you get the idea?
It's all legal.
In its place.
And you won't be hungry all the time. Yayyyy!!!!!!!
