Hi Go6AND8,
I have been on both TSP and Atkins they are very different have you read either of the books? TSP is a healing program and the weight loss is very slow to almost none existing but you will feel great. With Atkins you will get 20 carbs a day. On TSP you get 60 carbs 3 15carb meals and 2 71/2 snacks. Some people lose fast on Atkins induction some don't. I lost 8 pounds in the first 9 days but then nothing I am in a major stall. Wish I could help more.
