Well, yeah, I guess I did think of that, but I guess I was thinking more of the meats and nuts and
things that were higher in fat, that you can have on the Atkins diet that would count a good deal of
points, but like you said I guess just eat it and count the points.

Thanks,

I thought you could eat cheese on Atkins. Or is it just milk you eliminated. I wouldn't think that
would be very healthy.

I think Lesanne summed it up best (in terms of how to follow both programmes), so use that as a
guideline.

I'm not entirely convinced that you'd be able to consume enough of a balanced diet by using the
points system with Atkins, though. Atkins is ultimately a calorie restricted diet (although it's
touted as an "all the fat you can eat" diet by some), but some foods give you more bang for your
buck than others. If I follow WW, I can eat 20 points worth of Twinkies a day and be technically on
programme. I am eating few enough calories to lose weight, but I'm obviously not getting enough
nutrients. As others have mentioned, make sure you take all the supplements and vitamins Atkins
suggests in the books, particularly if you're going to count points at the same time.

Atkins didn't work for me simply because it wasn't a way of eating I could do for life. If you find
Atkins too hard to follow, you could always try a lowER carb (i.e. not as low as Atkins suggests)
diet and switch from white breads/pastas/rice to whole grain and keep your sugar intake to a
minimum. I think that sort of diet might be a bit more suitable with WW...but I'm not a dietician,
nor do I play one on TV. 😉

Cheers, Petal

Another way of looking at it is to just lower or eliminate your carbs while you increase your
protein. No where does it advocate eating all the fat that Atkins does. So instead of bread, pasta
and potatoes, eat more meat chicken or fish with lots of veggies. You can do low carb without really
doing atkins while following the WW principals.

if you follow atkins in the first phase you are not allowed to have nuts or
fruits or any of the high fat things except cheese salads salad vegetables,
heavey cream and other things if you want more info go to www.atkins.com
it's outlined there for you.

This is the type of program that WW stresses. They want you to eat the RIGHT kind of carbs. And as
many have pointed out, no program is going to work if you have to give up things that you love.
Don't make changes to your diet that you can't make for the rest of your life. Atkins is a diet
while WW is a WOE that you can follow for the rest of your life if you want to eat properly and in a
healthy way. Eating lowER carbs is really easy and is probably the smarter way of doing things. Have
eggs instead of ceral for breakfast, have a salad and chicken instead of a sandwich for lunch. Skip
the potatoes, pasta and rice in favor of lots of green veggies for dinner. How hard is that? My
carbs these days come from my cereal in the morning which is GoLean crunch. Higher protein than most
cereals and my skinny cow or GoLean Crunch bars. Things I don't want to give up. And my diet is very
balanced which I am not convinced that you can do that with the Atkins. BTDT!!! That's why I am now
doing WW instead of Atkins.

I'm thinking that not drinking milk is unhealthy. There are some recent studies that indicate that
drinking milk helps with weight loss. Plus women need the calcium to avoid osteoporosis. Supposedly
you can't get the same amount of calcium by eating cheese or by taking supplements.

I have also read that too much cheese can cause you to plateau while on Atkins.

Gotta say, I actually DID atkins lots of times, and always ended up fatter than when I started some
6 months after I got sick of it. Did WW lots of times too, and usually gained back some, but never
all, resulting in my 20 year long project to now, at goal. Flex in my opinion is the All Time Best
Diet ever created. Eat what you like and what feels good, go for healthy stuff as much as possible,
try new things/combinations to see what works best for you. It all fits on the flex plan. I eat a
varied balanced diet. My body tells me when I need more protein now. And when I have had enough.
Bein in a hurry never got me to goal. The everyday DECISION to not stop until I reached goal and to
take the suggestions in the WW literature did the trick.

Cows don't drink milk and manage to get enough calcium not only to provide for their own bones, but

there such as dark green leafy vegetables.

thats why u are limited to 3 - 4 ounces a day of the stuff you have to
account for everything that you put in your mouth to make sure that you only
eat 20 carbs for the first 14 days.

not only the vegetables but u can also take calcium pills to make up fir

who don't like milk or diary or who can't drink it for reasons they can't
control. before you judge something look into further info buy atkins book
or check out the web site. i am no expert on low carbs yet but have learned
alot from this group as well as others, i also have bought the book and read
it plenty to make sure i am doing things right.

Most doctors will tell you that taking supplements for calcuim is not the same. You need to have the
right combination of calcuim, vit D & K for them to be effective. Also, it is okay to SUPPLEMENT
your calcuim intake from milk but with the Atkins diet all you are getting is supplements. None of
the real thing.
