Anyone gone from SW to LC successfully?

I've 'done' SW successfully a couple of times but am aware of a chronic sugar addiction which is my downfall.
The reports on these threads of improved vitality, easy wt loss etc are v appealing but my current WOE involves so much fruit and veg it'd be a huge change and possibly less adaptable with 2 small DC.
Can anyone inspire me enough to ditch SW and join Autumn boot camp?

I lost 3 stone on SW after my last baby.
I much prefer doing Low Carb as it stops me feeling as hungry and on SW I would eat piles of pasta and a curly wurly every day,no exactly healthy.

I did bootcamp for a while (not the whole thing) and now I'm following the Anna Richardson Body Blitz which I love and will be able to stick to for life. For example,I hate eating eggs/meat etc for breakfast and I need my porridge!
So it's not low low carb but you never eat white carbs but you can have brown rice/pasta at lunchtimes only.

Thanks Mrs Hoolie, on reflection I don't think I could manage the restriction on fruit and veg ATM.
I know what you mean about being able to eat piles of carb and crap on SW, think I just need not to take that option Grin
Haven't heard of AR Body Blitz, may take a look.

The difference with the AR Body Blitz is that you aren't restricted on what veg you can eat apart from potatoes.
Tbh I think it's good to eat a whole range of colourful veg and I like beetroot in my salad.
As for fruit...well you can't eat it all day long but I have banana in my porridge and probably an apple or orange at some point.
Good luck with whatever approach you take.
