Well there are some out there that can answer your qusetion better...but I'll give it a go.

Those that have switched said to me that a few pounds temp gain is normal...when I switched I was scared I had lost 40 pounds on Atkins but I did not get a gain. I did notice however that my weight bounces 1-2 pounds on CAD and that did not happen on Atkins for me. But actually it was kinda good for me I've stopped being so scale obsessed It still goes down and thats the point right!!!!

I recently went totally cheating for amonth and I am back on plan doing Atkins until I feel I am under control and closer to the weight I was at before...And today I am back to the weight I started CAD at a few more to lose and I will back at my lowest.

Well Godd luck...I really like CAD although for me the weight loss is slower it is a really satifying ang non-depriving WOL
