I am switching from Atkins to PP. The main change for me is the addition of low carb bread, or wraps or rolls at some meals. It's not that I crave the carbs. It's just that I hate eating burgers or hot dogs with a knife and fork! Which makes me want to ditch the diet! The PP carb counts of 30-50 a day for me are way more "doable" for me than trying to obsess about "5-gram increments" of carbs per week!

After about five successful weeks on Atkins I've realized that I need a little more "freedom". I would rather have the WL slow down than stop! I bought the PP 30-day version on Kindle for iPad.

Here are some items on my shopping list: eggs, swiss cheese, frozen spinach, deli roast beef, ham, bologne, low carb mixed veggies: onions, peppers etc, cream/or half and half, string cheese, butter, parmesan cheese, Italian Style diced tomatoes, steak, sausage, chicken with skin, fresh salad greens.
