Uutta painosta eli versiota 2.0 suunnitellaan kirjan ilmestymisen 20-vuotisjuhlan lähestyessä. Suurin osa sisällöstä on Michael R. Eadesin mukaan edelleen kuranttia tavaraa, mutta rasva-asiat menevät uusiksi: Eades ei enää usko lipidihypoteesiin eikä enää kuvittele, että tyydyttynyt rasva olisi haitallista.
Toinen asia mikä on muuttunut on se, että vähähiilihydraattisen ruokavalion vaikutuksista on nyt käytettävissä runsaasti tutkimustietoa kun vielä kirjaa kirjoitettaessa Eades joutui pitkälti nojautumaan omiin kliinisiin kokemuksiinsa, joita oli saanut hoitaessaan potilaitaan ruokavaliolla.
Michael R. ades: Protein Power 2.0?Lainaa:
For example, the chapter on cholesterol. The vast majority of what I wrote in that chapter is accurate, but by reading between the lines, I can tell what my mind set was at the time. Back then I had bought into the lipid hypothesis hook, line and sinker. Consequently, the thrust of the chapter is about how a low-carb diet improves lipid values. No real mention of any benefit to saturated fat because – at that time – I believed saturated fats in excess could be problematic. This is one part of the book I guarantee will be changed.
When we wrote the book, it was in the midst of the low-fat frenzy the country is just now beginning to emerge from. At that time, there were no recent studies on low-carb diets, so we had to cobble together our data from old studies and our own clinical experience.
That has all changed now. The medical literature is awash with low-carb studies, so now we have no trouble documenting the results we were seeing clinically way back then. And we would have no trouble demonstrating that the low-carb diet is the best way to shed weight and improve health for the vast majority of people.
But we come to this from a different perspective than those who are seeking information. The two of us have a wealth of information and a combined fifty years of clinical practice in treating patients with low-carb diets. We know how to provide all kinds of answers – what we don’t know, however, is what are the questions burning in people’s minds.
