Hi Rita!
My wife is just starting Suzanne's program so we are watching videos every night. Her plan is a modified low carb plan, that does allow some amount of complex non-insulin spiking carbs and fruits. She stresses seperating food groups so for example when you eat fruit with a meal, it doesn't cause your steak to be turned into fat. There are 3 basic food groups:
Proteins/fats/vegtables (a list of specific veggies like peppers and onions)
Carbs/vegtables - whole grain carbs only (whole grain wheat, brown rice, etc)
Fruits
You can't mix food groups. A typical day might be:
Breakfast: mixed fruit
Lunch: whole grain pasta with marinara sauce
Dinner: chicken and veggie stir fry
Snacks: cheese, pepperoni sticks, nuts
I think it can be a good choice for some people like my wife, who doesn't like the strictness of Atkins
