1 Hour Window for ANY carbs?

Ok, forgive me for my insipidness, but I was recently informed of a
lady I know from work who does a "modified" form of Atkins diet..

There is a 1 hour window every day where you can eat ANYTHING you
want, the only stipulations to the diet are that the other 2 meals
must be carbless and both of those meals are mandatory to keep your
metabolism going..

I am not trying to debate this matter, I was just trying to see if
anyone knew of the name of this diet and where I could find legit
information about it..

Thank you and good luck to everyone..

Oh yeah. Eat anything you want for an hour, take a one minute break, then
eat anything you want for an hour. Should work just fine.

Well, the premise as described isn't exactly right -- you can't eat
"anything you want" for the reward meal -- but I'm sure she's referring to
the "Carbohydrate Addicts Diet" by the Drs. Heller. At the reward meal you
can eat carbs, but it's a balanced meal, not a pigout. I've heard that it's
hard to stay with because the rest of the day is extremely strict. There are
a couple of old-timers here at ASDLC that lost a lot on CAD.

Here's a link to the Heller's official website for the diet with full
information about CAD: http://www.carbohydrateaddicts.com/

I believe this is the carbohydrate addict's diet. I know nothing about it,
though.

It sounds like a wishful-thinking version of the Carbohydrate Addicts
Diet. Look for books by the Doctors Heller. Two meals are quite
low-carb. The third meal, which must be consumed in an hour, consists of
equal portions (by size on the plate) of carbs, protein, and vegetables.

I remember when they talked about it on Oprah a few years ago. I
specifically remember that at the "reward meal" if you want, say, some more
mashed potatoes, you also have to eat an equal amount of more meat and
veggies too. And, no, JC, you can't have two reward meals in a day.

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

so it's like two atkins meals and one zone meal per day? sounds
confusing...

Not only that, but the "reward meal" (I don't like the term as it
sets up the user to think of food as a reward) must start with
either 2 cups of salad or 1 cup of cooked allowed veggies.

The reward meal is designed to keep the person from
consuming too many.

I started low-carbing on this diet, but found the allowed list of
foods outside of the RM too restrictive. Eating from the same
repertoire every day, with the exception of a small carb allotment
(unless you eat a truckload for other stuff to match desired carbs)
got tedious.

Plus RM was no guarantee of protection against the cravings which
troubled me to begin with.

Eh, sounded pretty simple to me. I find it easier to just go low-carb all
day though, because I usually don't miss the high-carb foods I used to eat.
But for someone who would feel too deprived without certain foods to be
able to stick to low-carb long term, I think the CAD approach could be a
good one. Not just because they'd get to eat the foods they love, but also
because at the end of the day after having eaten almost all protein and fat
all day, they probably won't be as hungry at their last meal as they would
be had they been eating high-carb all day, and therefore may just eat less
overall. Plus, I have found through my experiences with my cheats, both
planned and unplanned, that if I eat carbs along with protein I don't feel
ill or get cravings.

That diet sounds hard to do, and I think I'd go overboard with the carbs if
I do that.
If I stay away from certain things, the cravings go away.

If I want a "high carb" meal, I'll plan to have it and eat it.

My favorite thing is to find alternatives to making what I am craving.
