Tobethin,
Hi - I made the switch from Atkins to CALP after induction 3 weeks ago, and am happy with it.
I cheated in between the two plans for a w/end and gained several pounds though...
Then I re-read the book and really looked at what the Hellers were saying. I highly recommend getting the book and reading it thoroughly.
I then had to decide to really stick with it, which I've done for the most part, and have lost 6 lbs in those 3 weeks.
I was in Dallas Friday/Saturday and ate out twice with family...it was so nice using those two meals as my reward meals. Had a great chicken salad and a luscious brownie for one meal, and eggs benedict with spinach at the other...only ate 1/2 of the english muffin however and was totally satisfied!
I then just munched on cheese, celery, meats and other LC items otherwise.
The toughest part was at the Paul McCartney concert Friday night when everyone was having beer and wine, and I was just drinking water...I had to repeat my mantra, "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels" a few times to get past that, and then once Paul started, I was sooooo into him, it was all okay anyway.
Good luck!
