well and it is a fact that when you go from a very low carb diet like atkins to a higher carb diet like SP there will be weight gain just simply from the increase in carbs, probably it would be better to transition to a plan like SP than just dive in head first :-) give your body a chance to adjust and I don't think there would be anything wrong with limiting your carbs to whatever level you found allowed you to feel healthy but not gain--I know how the doc feels about it, but in some cases gaining 20-30 lbs can present/aggravate already existing conditions, also I think the choice of carbs makes a big difference, I personally am finding that I can't seem to eat just a small amount of carbs, if I eat any I am a goner and I have to have lots, this I know is partially mental, but it is also physical, my body knows what it is used to and wants to keep the status quo....it is clearly going to take some time for me to learn this new balance both mentally and physcially....
