Carbohydrate Addicts Diet???

I was leaving a bookstore when a sign caught my eye...FREE BOOKS! Not one to pass up a deal, I scoured the bin for something interesting when I found it; The Carbohydrate Addict Diet book. I cracked it open, read it, and it spoke to me. I love carbs; always have and always will. I would choose rice, pasta, bread, potatoes over filet mignon any day of the week.

I figured I would try it. What harm could there be, after all, I have tried everything else. So in addition to prayer and turning it over to God, I am following the CAD. In a nutshell, you eat 3 meals a day and severely restrict/limit carb intake at 2 meals. The 3rd meal is a reward meal where you can eat as much of anything you want so long as you have a salad first and split your plate into thirds (veggie, protein, and carb). If you have seconds it must be from every third. And the zinger, everything must be eaten within 1 hour....including desert. It has science behind it regarding insulin levels but as I'm not a doctor, I didnt really understand it all.

I have eaten this way all week and will weigh in tomorrow. It's easy to follow and the reward meals are nice. I've been trying to stick to under 2500 calories per day which is low for me normally. Let's see how it goes.
