Hi
I have been doing atkins with success for the past 4 weeks and have lost 21lbs in total but I have got to the point where I am so fed up with the limited diet and lack of fruit and veg. If I don't change soon I am going to crack and have a good old carb binge!
I do think I have made a lot of progress and have broken a lot of bad habits but feel that SW is going to be a much more maintainable diet for me. I have identified a local group and will go to my first meeting Wednesday evening.
I do have a question which someone with more experience can help with I am sure. What should I do between now and Wednesday? What I really want to avoid is falling into a binge while I am in 'limbo'. I realise that I will be re-introducing carbs into my diet and this will lead to some kind of gain. So should I carry on with Akins until I get all the information or should I try and follow an SW style diet between now and then so my first weigh in would give a more realistic start point and reduce the gain in the first propper week of the diet IYSWM?
Any help, opinions or ideas would be appreciated!
