Welcome to the site! There are a lot of good people here.

Protein Power is similar to Atkins in that you limit carb intake. But the regular Protein Power diet as described in the books "Protein Power" and "Protein Power LifePlan" are a little less stringent ... you can have coffee and alcohol, as long as you count the carbs in them. There are other differences as well. The initial phase, where you limit carbs to 30 -40 grams per day, can last until you reach goal if you like (rather than a stricter induction phase that runs for a set number of weeks). Others can chime in with more detailed differences between the two diets.

I was attracted to PP over Atkins because the books have quite a bit of science in them, and the Drs. Eades are still active in contributing to the "way of life". Plus, they aren't fat like so many "diet gurus".
