I successfully lost 40 pounds on the Protein Power diet. You are allowed more carbs than Atkins but still eat more protein. That one wasn't bad. I could essentially have one serving of a carb with each meal. When I made spaghetti and meatballs for the kids, I would eat mainly meatballs and a 1/2 cup of spaghetti. I tried to mix up which types of carbs I ate to get a somewhat balanced diet (milk with breakfast, fruit with lunch, bread/pasta/potato with dinner). I think the key to success on that one is doing weight resistance training. It's focused on building muscle to increase your metabolism. Most people I know on Atkins aren't doing that part of it, but I don't know if it is emphasized with Atkins as it was with Protein Power.
