Hi, I'm just curious if anyone else has had a sudden intolerance to eggs. I've been eating them about 4-5 times a week since starting CALP in June and all of a sudden I have terrible cramps about 15 minutes after eating scrambled eggs and I'm really sick for 4-5 hours. Obviously, I've cut them out of my diet completely now..though boiled eggs are fine...I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

No- that is strange. I use Egglands best, and have 14/week for the last 2.5 years. Don't know what to tell you- sorry.

Hi, I am actually a Atkins person thinking of converting to CAD....I too have developed an intolerance to eggs. I was eating deviled eggs or hard boiled eggs like you 4 or 5 times a week for several months and suddenly before I can even finish one my stomach is upset and like you it last for hours. I can however still eat my 3 cheese omlettes with no problem. It must be the cheese coating my stomach. I use chedder swiss and creamcheese with a little onion and garlic. I have a question about CAD, Does it count NET carbs or straight carbs?

We don't count carbs at all. There are posts with the plan info, but the best thing is to read one of the books.

I read the book a long time ago. If I remember correctly you still count the carbs for two of the three meals a day don't you. With no snacks in between and then you get a reward meal once a day where you can eat anything you want for an hour. Right?

No, we don't ever count carbs we just eat the foods from the CM food list for two meals and then the 3rd meal is the RM.

Isn't there some rule about not eating more than 4 carbs of CM veggies per mea (at a CM meal)?

After eating a ton of eggs, I became intolerant, but have been able to add them back. I can eat 2-3 eggs every other day without a problem, but not every day like I used to.

Very interesting Deidra, hopefully I will be able to eat them again...I really love them.
How long did it take for you to be able to eat them again?
