CKD is not Atkins. It is a seperate eating and exercise program. BFL is also a seperate nutricion program. While some on here follow the BFL plan, many are doing thier LC plan (Atkins, CAD ext) and using the BFL workouts. The 6 small meals a day also helps to increase metabolism even when not doing the intense workouts.
What you first need to do is decide what program you would like to do. If you are comfortable with Atkins, go ahead and stick with it, adding the BFL workouts.
The only differences would be that you would slowly raise your carbs and move through OWL, and while your after workout meal is low fat, the rest of your meals would just be small atkins meals.
Healthy body weight for women is 22-27% so you are already at a great body fat percentage. This means that you may not lose much weight, but you will see a big difference in toning as you gain muscle. Before you begin BFL measure everywhere you can think of. Measure chest, hips, waist (upper and lower), arms (bicep and forarm), neck, thigh, calf what ever.
Remeasure your waist and hips once a week, then remeasure everywhere at 6 weeks and 12 weeks. While the scale may not move, or even go up, you'll find the inches going down as you replace fat with muscle.
My first couple of weeks on BFL I actually gained a couple of pounds. My measurements went down though, which meant the gain was muscle and water. Remember, no one but you sees the number on the scale, but everyone can see when you start wearing smaller jeans and have a tighter figure. If it helps hide the scale and only reweigh once a week, or at the end of the program, using the tape measure to monitor progress instead.
