Hi all! I have some questions.. I have been reading around- mainly on here and on the atkins site. I have not yet purchased the 2002 atkins book however I might today. Anyways I was just wondering if anyone has had success switching from a lower calorie/low carb* prepackaged plan to atkins?
I am just wanting to slowly move away from shakes and bars and eat more "real" food if that makes sense? I am already trying to sub in different foods- I am not really sure if it is good or bad though as I am unsure where I should be keeping my calories and fat and protein levels at.
Currently I am down over 30 pounds since I started low carbing. I started on Medifast then switched to wonderslim- both have similar ideas- medifast is low carb low calorie low(ish) fat. Wonderslim is also low carb, but allows more calories and fruit.
I am considering starting in the OWL phase since I have already been LCing for a while- I am not sure if that is a silly idea or not. I have been reading through the induction and OWL information- trying to figure out which fruits and veggies and meats and other fit into the plan- still a lot more reading to do.
Anyways back to the mian question:
Has anyone successfully switched over? What was transition like (from prepackaged to Atkins)
any pros or cons??
Thanks so much!
