Old Atkins book v new Atkins book!

hi, i posted this in the book review but it really should have been here as its not really a review.

I have been following the old Atkins book for 5 weeks now with good results apart from the last 10 days where i have stalled. I bought the newer version of the atkins book today and it seems that i have been doing things slightly wrong which may explain my stall. Firstly i have been eating protein in liberal amounts, not massive amounts, just enough to satisfy me, but the new book says there are certain amounts you should be eating, there is a table in the book to work out how much protein for your height/sex. also i am confused about the fact you can now drink caffine, saying that in moderation it modestly assists fat burning, and that i have to count splenda tabs that i have in coffee (i thought the tabs had very little carbs in them compared to the granulated sort.if the tabs are 1 gram of carbs each then at least 8 grams of carbs are just going in my coffee! there seems to be a lot more weighing and calculating to do in the updated version. ohhh i am feeling like the new way of eating is getting on top of me!!
