I am new to this Forum but how does it differ from the Atkins Diet,in which you have to go into Ketosis....How does this differ....thx

umpa:
Welcome wmpmanna! I am Umpa,Dougs wife .If I can help you please ask :) The difference is we don't remove foods we replace them.That way after you lose the weight there are no foods to add back in to gain the weight back.Diet cycle broken. I am not a big fan of atkins food products though the sugar alcohols are too high and can stall weight loss :) Enjoy the forum.

Welcome to the FTS family, wmpmanna!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)

I've tried the Atkins Diets (the early 1970s version and the more current one).
With both, I lost some weight. But then, put it ALL back on plus MORE! :o
This also been true with EVERY other diet I've tried.

FTS is the first real program that has made a permanent change for me.
I've lived the FTS lifestyle for over 2.5 years, and am still doing great!!! :) :) :)
I'm healthier than I've been in over 30 years! ;D

Welcome to the forum wmpmanna   :)

Simply put Atkins is a diet and FTS is a lifestyle change.  Like Umpa said....we find replacements for all our favorite foods so there is no need to add the sugar back in.   It's beyond me why anyone would want to work so hard to lose weight only to slowly start eating the old way and gain it all back.   ???  Which is what everyone that I know that has tried it has done.   For me personally the best part of FTS is how well I can control my blood sugar as a diabetic. 

Do take a look around the forum.....there are tons of wonderful recipes and ideas to be had.  Lots of support and encouragement to be had by all just for the asking.   We are just one big family  :)

By the way...the one thing I do use Atkins for, is the recipes they have listed on their website.  Some of them are quite good provided they aren't made with the products they try to sell you.    ;)

Welcome to the forum wmpmanna, I'd like to clarify Ketosis for you. Think of Keytones as "ash" from burnt fat cells. Whenever the body is using fat cells as fuel the result will be keytones in your urine... This is the state of being in Ketosis, its a good thing :)

The biggest difference between our program and Atkins are replacement foods. We don't want you to buy and eat pre-packaged "diet" stuff, we want you to eat delicious healthy foods and never feel as if you are missing a thing.  I also keep you at 20 or less net carbs for your entire weight loss journey where Atkins starts to rebuild your carbs way to early resulting in cravings and ultimate failure.  8)
