Anyone ever do a combined WW counting-points & doing it low carb?

[JKMastalski]

Just wondering what the results were. I was thinking about doing the WW points again, but doing it pretty low-carb. Do you think this is a good idea or should you do one or the other?

Well I know WW now has low carb frozen meals available. Not too tasty I will say.

I'm not sure that they would work well together unless you really paid attention to what you were eating. Low carb relies on you eating fat and protein to burn in place of carbs for energy. If you don't get enough calories that way it won't work. WW relies on the food pyramid to work. That said, you can eat sensibly on either plan. If you feel that WW doesn't work for you as is (doesn't for me), but that low-carb may (does for me), give low carb a try. Same goes vice versa.

I was just going to post ths at my WW meeting the leader said they were supposed to have a meeting todayabout bringing in a Low Carb twist to the point system.
THey said it was for those people who want to do the low Carb thing while still doing WW.

I think it would be difficult to do Atkins and WW, but have you looked at South Beach? I've done WW in the past and it didn't work for me. I'm having a lot of success with South beach, but I use a lot of the portion sizes that I learned from WW. Plus, you're supposed to eat lean protein, low fat/fat free dairy, and unlimited veggies (lower carb ones). You can also have some carbs in the form of whole grains. The two plans seem pretty compatible to me.
