Has anyone here ever been on Atkins and then switch to protein power? And if so, was your weight loss faster on Atkins or protein power?

Welcome, Bella!

I think the weight loss is faster on Atkins induction than on PP phase 1, but after that, the plans are about equal. I personally find PP easier to stay with. :)

Bella, I switched from Atkins to PP and lost much better than on Atkins. I lost 4 pounds on induction and then not much after that. Atkins was too high in fat for me to lose. I didn't gain and lost some inches for awhile but then nothing. When I switched to PP my protein level increased and I brought my fat ratios down from 70% to 45%. I started losing and then tweaked it more to bring my calories down a bit and was at my goal in about 2 months. I went from a size 18 to a size 12/10. PP is also more liberal on food choices and much more forgiving....IMHO :)

Bella,

My stats below tell the story of my loss. The lower-fat LC plan was Atkins - I lost fastest on it, but I felt awful - no energy or stamina. My experience with PP parallels Chamellie's experience - except she at goal and I'm so darn proud of her. :yay: :yay: :yay:
