I have been on Atkins since 10/14. Lost 4 pounds and gained it back. I like the plan actually. I think I'm just eating too much. The main reason I chose atkins after reading about several of the plans is that it seemed simple. I think because I was sort of cautious at first is why I lost weight. Then I started feeling a little more comfortable with the fat. I think I might be just eating too much of it. I know Atkins does stress not to over do it. I guess I need more guidelines. I'm thinking about changing plans because I figure if I'm going to have to maybe count my calories a little or follow a little more of a structured plan I might as well get a little more variety. I was willing to give up the variety if I didn't have to follow such a structured plan, but unfortunately it does not seem to work for me! Right now I'm leaning towards protein power but have not read the book yet so I'm not sure. I would appreciate any input on changing from Atkins to PP ~ good or bad. Thank you.
