Hmm, you may be right. 2 things he said that may indicate his line of thinking... 1) as long as I lose/continue to lose weight, he wouldn't worry about the numbers. So maybe he just wants to make sure I'm on the right track? And 2) My thyroid was "slightly under-active" and he wants to see if that was just an aberration or what. So maybe the month is enough time to see what's going on with that?

CALP is the best thing that has ever happened to me!

I have been following the program for the last nineteen months and will be following it for the rest of my life. I have found a way that I can eat and remain in control, which is absolutely wonderful.

I honestly believe that I am insulin resistant and eating carbohydrates, with the exception of vegetables, outside of my Reward Meal only causes me to want more carbohydrates.

I have found a way to eat that keeps me completely satisfied without any cravings or deprivation. I did not become the size that I was when I began this program by eating healthy, so I knew that changing my eating habits to forbid the things that I enjoy would not work for me in the long run.

I make balancing my meals a very important part of following this program. My Complementary Meals include the same amount of protein and vegetables. My Reward Meals begin with two cups of salad and then I get to include my favorite salad dressings. I eat the same amount of protein, vegetables, and carbohydrates and found that I have not needed to fix my plate with anymore since I am completely satisfied with my meal. I know that if I am still hungry that I can add more protein, vegetables, and carbohydrates in equal amounts and still be following the program.

I was a chocolate junky and because I allowed myself to enjoy it as my sole carbohydrate every other day, I am in control of it for the first time in my life. It took me a year and a half to gain control over my chocolate addiction, but I can now eat a small amount and be satisfied.

I eat real food that I can get at any supermarket or restaurant. My cupboards are not filled with products that are inedible and I get to follow any recipe I choose. I am able to enjoy the holidays and all special events, and still stay on my program.

I don't believe that there is only one program that fits all, but I do know that the Carbohydrate Addict's LifeSpan Program is the one that fits me perfectly!
