Has anyone tried the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet?

I've never heard of that one....is it like Atkins?

I am on a LC message board where people are following that plan and seem to do well.

It is basically low carb for two meals a day - I think it's 10 grams per meal. Then every day you have a reward meal which starts with a salad and the equal portions of fat, protein and carbohydrates but you need to eat that meal within an hour. It has something to do with the impact on your insulin levels.

It seems like an easier way to live a low carb lifestyle without having to give up every type of food.

My father went on a diet called the Carbohydrate Addict's Lifespan Program about 5 years ago, lost 80 pounds and has kept it off.

Essentially, he eats no cards until dinner, and then eats equal portions of vegetables, protein and carbs with dinner, and a salad beforehand.

It really does work, and I lost about 20 pounds on it at one point, but then got bored, missed fruit and oatmeal and stopped doing it.
