CALP Plan Reviewed
For those of you who are wondering what the Carbohydrate Additcts Diet Lifespan Program (CALP) entails, here is an overview and a couple of links with more information.

First of all, 2 meals a day and any snacks need to consist of LC veggies and protein. This is called the CM or CS (Craving-reducing meal/craving-reducing snack) The list of allowed foods is a bit different than on Atkins.

One meal a day is the Reward Meal (the RM). This meal needs to last no more than one hour (60 minutes). It should start with a large salad. Then, you visually look at your plate and have 1/3 LC veggies, 1/3 carbs, 1/3 protein. You can eat as much as you want. If you want more carbs, you need to eat more LC veggies and protein. You are not counting carb grams. You can choose what the carbs are.


Here is a link to a quiz to see if you are a carbohydrate addict:
