Hi There, could someone please post info on CALP, I've been on Atkins and decided to try CALP but I haven't got the book yet and I'm not sure if I'm on the right track. Yesterday was the first day and I had 2 egg omelette with cheese, broccoli, mushrooms and cauliflower fried in butter, lunch was grilled chicken breast salad with blue cheese dressing and dinner was spaghetti with meatsauce and mushrooms, slice of whole wheat bread with butter.
Zulaikaa, I sent you a private message, please let me know if you received it. Thanks,

Nope.

Thanks Zuleikaa, I got the cheat sheet. Is it vital to have the salad with the rm meal? I'm not a big salad fan and I do try to eat salad at lunch time but I'd prefer cooked veggies at dinner. You have done so well on this. did you stay on Calp the whole time? I did good on Atkins for about 4 months and then I quit losing and got frustrated with the whole thing. I haven't been watching my food since then and now I'm back trying Calp. My husband is quite pleased about the rw meal as he felt left out with Atkins and it kind of bothered him. he says at least now we can have the same meal at supper time. I already feel better about things today. Good job you've done, I hope I can be as successful with this plan. Thanks so much for your help

CALP requires a salad before RM. Some do, some don't. Some do sometimes, some do all the time. CALP does also say that if you can't tolerate the salad you can have cooked veggies but they must be CM and not counted in your 1/3 portion. In other words they are replacing the salad.

It's sure nice to have experienced people around. Thanks for the info. My meals so far today, 2 egg omelette with cheese, mushrooms for breakfast, lunch was 1/2 cup salad with blue cheese dressing 2 all beef top dogs. Top dogs have .04 grms carbs per weiner and they are very tasty. I have a ham cooking in the oven as we speak for dinner.

Sounds good!

could someone please send me a cheat sheet?
my CAD book is in pieces, ripping out pages to figure this out, has totally backfired,
thank you so much!!



todays my first day on this, so please email me a cheat sheet, i'd be forever grateful!!

Hi there Meems,

It's against forum rules to post email addresses.

I believe Zuleika has posted her "Cheat Sheet" in her journal.
She has also been asked to post it in this forum - perhaps she will now?

Sorry
Format of the cheat sheet isn't right for posting. Don't know how to convert it or what it would look like. I did send it to the webmaster for posting but that hasn't happened.

I didn't post it because you have successfully posted it in your hournal a while back. If you can't post it again here in a similar way, just let me know.

Wa'il

Thanks
The CAD/CALP Cheat Sheet needs to be posted. The one I posted in my journal was for the modified fat flush plan. I'd really appreciate it if you posted the CAD/CALP cheat sheet here in the CAD/CALP forum. Thanks.
