Why?  I read both books and preferred SB, primarily because it looked more like
a diet I'd follow, though I could have followed Atkins.  But why does your wife
want to switch?  And what do you think about it, having had some success on
Atkins?

Based on the books, I don't think they're all that different, except there's
less fat on the SB diet and people seem to lose a bit faster on Atkins.  So it
depends on what your goals are.  If you wanted to stay on Atkins and she wanted
to go SB, you could probably manage dinners together without two different
menus.  Broiled fish and vegetable sides on Atkins is broiled fish and
vegetable sides on SB.  Etc.
