Me too! I read the first book in two days -- devoured it -- and had an "aha" moment, realizing that this was the way that I should be eating. A few weeks later, I bought TSPII. I still haven't read the whole thing, it's just too complicated and confusing. To make matters worse, I think it is not very well organized. Finally, TSPII could have benefitted greatly by the inclusion by Dr. S of an explanation of how the two books fit together. I think II is meant to replace I, since it has more specific recommendations, but I am not sure.
