I couldn't agree more - I read then reread TSP I. I purchased TSP II but got confused. I think if I was just beginning a WOE that was low-carb TSP II would be too intense with too much information and I would (this is just me personally) find it discouraging. I found the first book I read it at one sitting whereas the second book I have to make an effort to get thru it. I thought maybe I just wasn't bright enough to "figure out the second book" but from reading I see others get as confused as I was.
