Hi and thanks for your replies. I dont think I was exactly clear in my original post. I guess what I am after is how these other diets differ from atkins. I breifly looked thru the sugar busters book and it says that you can have whole wheat bread and pasta, etc...When I say variety, I mean some form of bread, pasta, etc...I am allergic to eggs, so I cannot eat eggs, although I love them, they make me deathly ill....To tell you the truth I am not sure what I am loking for....I just know that now when I go to eat a steak or salad, I am not enjoying it. I dont look forward to eating what is on the plan anymore. Does anyone know how the PP plan works and how it differs from Atkins. I want to know how they differ, and if they are working as well as atkins for you. Not just weight wise, but health wise too. I just want to try something different. If it doesnt give me the same results, then I wil stick with Atkins, but I would really like to try a different plan. Thank you!
