Actually, I originally read Atkins and thought I had started induction, but comparing my book (1996, I think) to a friend's book (white cover, earlier edition) and to the Atkins web site, my induction list was different than theirs - and my book didn't mention subtracting fiber, etc - so I wasn't truly following induction depending on what source was used. In my frustration with the inconsistencies, I picked up a copy of PPLP. And from there on out, I became a PP follower. I could just relate to PP better than Atkins. There were no forbidden foods or specialized lists to follow to get started, and I think that was the deciding factor - along with what appeared, in my opinion, to be an overall healthier WOL.
I hope your library has a copy for you to read . I read PPLP first, but then wanted to read PP for the calculations for LBM, protein, etc, so I got a copy of it. Now I refer to both books on a regular basis. Hopefully you can get your hands on one or the other .
