Chele,

I think you would find CAD/CALP to be quite liveable after what you said regarding your eating style. I was an At-kid for 6 months and while I stuck to it religiously, I knew from the first few weeks, this wasn't something I could do long term. I have PCOS/IR too and I needed something I knew I could adapt to as a WOL till I die - CALP fits that criteria for me.

So, best of luck w/ your decision! It's a great plan, and while it may work slower than Atkins for a lot of people, it's not so much about weight loss as about a change in eating for permanent health results.
