I say that because the book spend chapters relating to diabetes, insulin resistance, among many other things, all written in a way that everyone can understand. Protein Power deals with plain down to earth foods with down to earth costs and you dont have to be a rocket scientist to deal with the program. I have lost about 30 lbs in a little over 4 months with PP and I can honestly say that I have never been hungry ever at any time. PP book (the first one) is very important since it will give you the feeling that it is all you need, including a strong conviction to implement a self decipline regime of action.
Personally I feel that the second book (Protein Power Lifeplan) is good to further your knowledge on nutition but not as much as the first book. That is my opinion. The second book emphasizes what the first book said and the authors go into great lenght to convince the readers that red meat is good for us. It goes into understandable details about free radicals, antioxidants, nutrition supplements, transfats and a great deal of other useful info.
Give it a try and goodluck. Let us know how you make out.

Yes, I agree PP is a great starting point for newcomers, but of all the low carb books I have read PPLP is the best by far IMHO. Diabetes is covered pretty well by the Eades (better than the Atkins Diabetes book) but I having read quite a lot on Dr Bernstein's site - if I had diabetes myself, I would get his book as well. Anyone who has been sucessfully managing his type 1 diabetes for 55 years in addition to all the patients he has helped over that time, should be regarded as at least one of the best low carb experts for any diabetic.
