Leenie:

I have no idea if this will work, but there are so many people on this site who do their own low-carb thing. You can try it and see if it works for you. That is truly the important thing.

Low carb is good for you overall.

One thing you may have problems with is cravings for sweets. On CAD, they keep you off snacking to keep your insulin response low and you tend lose your cravings for snacks.

With Atkin's, snacks are allowed as long as it's low carb. I'm not sure how your body will react to really low carbs (with atkin's) and then a higher carb day (with CAD).

All you can do is try. Let us all know how you fair and how you're feeling.
