How to switch from Atkins?

I've been on Atkins for 6 weeks and lost 16 lbs, but still on 25 carbs per day. Have 12+ to go. Really want to switch to SBD, but not really sure what the greatly increased carbs will do to my weight loss, which is now VERY slow. Any advice? P.S. I am a first-time questioner....have appreciated all your forums.

I, too, would love to hear any info on this...has anyone out there done it? Just consider this a bump...

I have not done that but what would make sense (at least to me) :) is cut back on the fat and add a carb instead --- ie instead of bacon or sausage with eggs in the morning--- have eggs, 2 slices turkey bacon and a slice of whole grain bread with smart balance on it or something.

Instead of full fat cheese for a snack --- try low fat cheese with some pistachios.

Kind of do a balance act --- take out fat and add a little carb.

Just a thought
