yvonne326,
Have you decided whether to switch or not? I'm thinking of switching from Atkins, too (I just ordered a bunch of PP books on Amazon, so I can research the subject.) From what I can glean (admittadly, without the books) PP seems a lot like ATkins OWL, except for the emphasis on lean proteins and good fats, fewer restirictions on leafy greens and more fruit. It pretty much sounds like what I've been tryng to do on Atkins (but I keep getting sidetracked by bars and lunch meats)
I want to be eating food I'd be happy to serve my children (when I have some) and frankenfoods and processed foods don't fit the bill.
