WELL, I JUST RECENTLY (LIKE THE LAST WEEK) WENT FROM ATKINS TO PP MYSELF, AND HAVEN'T NOTICED ANY WEIGHT GAIN. IN FACT, I AM DOWN A POUND OR SO. I HAVE SYSTEMIC CANDIDA, WHICH STALLS WEIGHT LOSS, *AND* IT HAS JUST BEEN *THAT* TIME OF THE MONTH, SO TO GO DOWN AT ALL IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.

I DID ATKINS INDUCTION IN MARCH AND LOST 9 POUNDS, THEN STUCK, WENT UP AND DOWN AND UP AND DOWN, UP...

I DECIDED TO GIVE PP A TRY, AND, ONCE RUSTPOT HELPED GET ME THROUGH THE ROCKET SCIENCE, IT SEEMS TO SUIT ME. I LIKE KNOWINGTHE EXACT (MINIMUM) AMOUNT OF PROTEIN TO AIM FOR. IT IS ALSO A RELIEF TO BE TOLD THAT "SKINNY VEG" AREN'T AS SCARY AS ALL THAT, SO NOT TO BE SO WORRIED ABOUT HOW MUCH LETTUCE I EAT, ETC.

I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS ANY HELP, BUT MY ADVICE IS TO GIVE IT A TRY, AND IF IT DOESN'T WORK, STICK WITH ATKINS. I LOVE DR. ATKINS, BUT FIND PROTEIN POWER THAT BIT EASIER ON ME.
