I'm debating.

I still have my Atkins book and so far, I'm simply not seeing a difference between the two.

The biggest review was "the difference is night an day." I respect the person that said that, but that's one of those lame reviews that doesn't say a damned thing. That's a step above "it rawks!"

There is another issue: when I did atkins, I stayed on P1 for about 3 months to maximize the loss, then when I finally transitioned to P2, where I could add nuts, I found I had great intestinal discomfort eating nuts.

I did some research and it turned out to be an enzyme or fungal issue with nuts. I got unadapted to processing nuts and little I could do besides bearing the pain and forcing my body to readapt could assuage the suffering (and I'm talking keeled over suffering). If TNT restricts nuts also, I'm not better off.

I probably also couldn't follow the recipes. I simply cannot stand cooked greens of any kind. I think cooked broccoli is one of the nastiest smells on the planet. Right next to sewer back flow. Cauliflower is no better.
