Pros: This is not what I will call a diet. It is an eating style change.
Cons: It takes some getting use to.
The Bottom Line: I would say try it, and if it works for you stick with it. I say this because it taught me to eat healthy and not deny myself.

| motherearth's Full Review: Carbohydrate Addict's Diet |
I started this diet in January of 2000. At first, I was kind of skeptical, but after I saw the authors on Oprah, and did my own research, I bought the Carbohydrate Addicts Life Span Program book. Once I finished reading the book, I realized that I was off to a good start. I was already physically active--i just started back to teaching aerobics 2x a week.
The major problem that I had was that I was taking in too many simple sugars. To be honest, whenever I sat down to eat my plate was full of carbohydrates. This book taught me to eat a meal that is dominated by vegetable and protein.
I started each meal with a salad. When I looked at my plate I saw a plate divided by 1/3 of protein, 1/3 of vegetables, and 1/3 of carbohydrates. I would eat my protein and vegetables and then, if i was hungry, I would eat my carbohydrates.
Within one month, my aerobics class saw a difference in me. When I started back to teaching aerobics, I weighed 186 lbs. I was really under way with the diet in February or March. In June, I was down to 165 lbs. Women in my aerobics class, at the YMCA in Plattsburgh, NY, followed suit, and also had great results.
There wasn't any huge cost to me. The most expensive thing was the book, and it was well worth it. I recommend it to anyone. I was never hungry.
I must end with this. I was having a problem with gas at night in my sleep. When I began to change my eating style. The problem went away, and never returned. When I do pass gas, I smell a lot better.
