switching from Dukan diet to Dahlqvist / Atkins?

Hi all,

I've been doing the dukan diet for about 2 months, and have lost 9kg. I'm wondering if I would have done better on the Atkins / Dahlqvist diet?

On Dukan, you eat mainly protein, and then alternate days of pure protein and protein plus vegetables. Very low carb and very low fat.

I like the sound of eating low carb and high fat though, and am going on holiday where it will probably be easier to follow, as will be staying in hotels and stuff. At least then I can just cut out bread / potatoes / pasta etc, and eat lots of vegetables / meat.

Does anyone have experience of both and what I can expect?

Thanks
