I'm back to the Original Atkins. I gained two pounds in two weeks which in honesty I can't attribute to the combination of the two plans. I was due for TOM the first of August and have not seen him. This could be my first skipped period in the perimenopausal phase of life, and I have no idea what that implies as far as weight gain or loss.
When I switched from Atkins to try South Batkins, I was not losing at 45 carbs per day (which is where I was in the ladder of carb additions), but I wasn't gaining either.
It's just clear as a bell that either: 1. My CCL is 45, or 2. Perimenopause hormones (or lack thereof) are heck on a weight loss program.

I am not a good test subject.
