I have noticed that the posts on the ATKINS site always has tremendous weight loss for people, but the SP site seems to have people on the plan for months and not losing much at all.

I just got the SP book and have not had a chance to sit and read it yet, but I am concerned with the prospect of such extremely poor results with such dramatic lifestyle changes...

I "played" with Atkins and did feel a big difference in my energy levels, etc. I was a baby and did not stick to it enough...missing veggies toooo much. So when I heard of the SP allowing 15 to 30 carbs per meal depending on activity versus 20 carbs for the day, my vegometer perked right up.

THEN I found this site by doing a SP search on AOL and after ordering the book THEN started reading.

Now I am getting confused and leary of doing this versus that versus...HELP....
