The biggest difference is that PP allows more carbs and flexibility and variety in one's diet than Atkins. I don't know about you, but I need something with a meal to offset the richness of most meat/poultry/fish. After awhile I am ready to gag just at the thought of protein, if I'm not getting enough variety. The carb portions are VERY limited and small, but it's enough to keep me motivated, and not give up.

Definitely get the book. It's easy reading and has some interesting calculations. Enjoy!
