I would go for the vege diet I guess because I think it's probably better. I really couldn't do either though. Since much of your protein in vege diets you get from beans or nuts. I don't like beans and I'm allergic to nuts.
I voted Vege. Couldn't/wouldn't do either diet.

Or was she was following what she believed was Atkins? If she followed Atkins she should not have had those problems.
Atkins works. And NO I don't follow it to the letter of the book. I do 3 weeks under 20 carbs (I restrict fat also), then a month or so of balanced diet (lots of oatmeal, vegies and fruit). I am now within 20 pounds of goal and feel good.
