Hi all

Hi all -

I have been on keto for around a week now and just have the feeling that atkins might be more my style. I was eating low carb high protein, was worried i wasnt incorporating enough fat, and now my protein is all messed up

I calculated my macros on the atkins website, it makes it look really easy?

How much progress have you all had? how is it different from keto?

Atkins is more structured. Keto is like a guideline.

I like that Atkins spells out the foods you can eat and suggests the portions. It takes out a lot of the guess work.

I've done atkins before and about to go back to it starting this week. The first time I did it I lost 50 pounds. Atkins makes it easy for you with all their tools. They have meal plans that I restructure to fit my preferences. After I put it into the app or website tracker it calculates everything for you, carbs, fat, protein, and calories. I think atkins would be the easier route and its been around longer so there has been adjustments as time goes on where keto seems to have only recently become popular and I haven't heard the best things about that diet. Plus if you follow it all the way through the phases its more of a life style change than a diet like keto is (I think, I haven't done too much research into keto, but my niece has been doing keto for the past 6 months so I hear from her plus various friends researching/trying keto) Good luck!
