They sell their own brand - "Drs. Eades Daily Regimen" on their site at
http://www.lowcarbcookworx.com/shop/. They are really pricey, but supposedly very good.

I started out on Atkins too.

I love PP and have read it several times, so I can't wait to get PPL. I find it strange that I've read DANDR and PP so many times, but keep coming back for more.

The Eades blogs are excellent, too.

I have read the Atkins and Protein Power books several times because there is so much to absorb and and digest (no pun intended). Protein Power is easier for me to follow and find that meeting the Protein requirements suggested leaves very little room for much else and makes me feel completely stuffed. I started on Atkins first, moved to Neanderthin and now find PP to fit the best. Besides, PP can be done paleo style as well.

I, too, am considering going on Protein Power. I bought the book last night and fell asleep on it (it was my bedtime...). It is encouraging so far though.

I only have about ten more pounds that I want to lose, and if I follow Atkins the way I'm s'posed to, it seems to me that it will be months before I can be in the Lifetime Maintenance phase. Since I don't have months worth of weight to lose, it just seems a little counter intuitive to add 5 grams of very limited carb choices every week.

Protein Power seems alot more balanced to me (so far in my readings).

I started out on Protein Power and although I sometimes take ideas from Atkins (since a close friend of mine does Atkins) I find Protein Power to work best for me. I prefer having that leeway of up to 30g/day, even though I usually aim for 10g.

And it seems to be working quite well, in a week and a half I've gone from 195 to this morning's 188!

I found this Supplement that comes close to what the Eades recommend. It is 6 tablets a day, I take 3 in the morning and 3 at night. I also take additional beta-carotene (Vitamin A), Vitamin E, Vitamin B-12 and then Cod Liver Oil. Not too bad really.
