From atkins to sw

[pollydolly]

Have been doing Atkins for about 6 months I have lost 1 1/2 stone, but still have 1 stone to go but I'm fed up with it I want more fruit and veg was thinking of changing to sw. I'm worried about weight regain has anyone had experience with this or have any advice Xxxx

My friend did the switch for virtually the same reasons as you. I think she gained a bit the first couple of weeks but once her body got used to it the weight started to shift regularly x

Thanx I've been looking into it, maybe start on red days?? I just can't wait to eat an apple never thought I'd say that

I couldn't do Atkins - I am not a fruit lover but I know I would want it!

I think starting on red days is a great idea to give your body time to adjust if you are going straight from Atkins. Welcome aboard!

Hey hun,Iv recently come from atkins (got bored of slimmingworld,went to atkins,now I'm back) I had terrible chest pains while on atkins and a resting heart rate of 160bpm,which I don't think was at all caused by atkins but couldn't stay on it with family and friends blaming it on that!! When I came off atkins I gained 7lbs in the first week,(was doing EE) but the 2nd week I had a 2.5lb loss,defo go on red days,I knew I should have,and you may only gain a little,maybe not at all,but eitherway it will all come off!
