Hi Leah. You're right, Atkins is similar to PP. But honestly, this means that if you switched to PP, you'd be eating pretty much the same food, and you'd be stuck with the same problems. I think you'd be better off figuring out what you're doing wrong and correcting it, because if it isn't working while you're calling "Atkins," it won't work when you call it "Protein Power". I think a good start is to heed the feedback in your journal, cut way back on that cheese, cut out the salad dressings that have more than 2 g carb per serving, and follow the other Atkins guidelines.

HTH - best of luck!
