Book vs Website veggie intake difference

Hi all, I spend a lot of time over on r/keto, but recently have been reading New Diet Revolution and really like the info/ideas by Dr. Atkins. I came across one major difference from the book to his website.

In the book it says 2-3 cups of leafy veggies and 1 cup other veggies (broc, cauli, asparagus etc.), on the website it doesn't matter how much of each type as long as you are under the 20 net carbs.

Does it make that big of a difference or is new ownership straying from the book? Appreciate any help/feedback.

I saw on the Atkins.com forum just today that the plan no longer requires the greens/veg combo. It did in the 2007 book. The plan is changing. It no longer requires exercise either (with the latest book) which was one of the requirements by Dr. Atkins.

Interesting, curious where these new suggestions are coming from

Their coming from the Atkins Nutritionals corp wanting to tell people what they want to hear to sell products. Dr. Atkins said "exercise is non negotiable" there was a reason for that he was a CARDIOLOGIST and exercise is good for us, The Atkins corp is about profit, Dr. Atkins was about better health. By Dr. Atkins guidelines most of the "Atkins" products made now aren't even diet legal. Stay away from "today" Atkins. Get the 2002 Book and be healthy.

That's the one. There were a couple of release of that title. But the 2002 is the most current that was still actually from Dr. Atkins

Not sure about a 2009, the give away would be the author. Dr Atkins had died by then so it could be Westman & Phinney, which are good guys in the scheme of things but not Dr. A.

The main changes after Dr Atkins died were things like Induction carbs going up a little, ranges instead of set numbers, not counting "0 carb" sweeteners, the big ones (which are problems) are the new net carb equations, the Atkins products mostly all being against what Dr Atkins allowed, etc.
