I don't have PN 2.0, so I can't comment on the Protein/Fat and Protein/Carb meal focus. There's so little discussion of that concept at the PN forums, nowadays, that I'd be surprised if that's still going on all that much.
I'd try Julie's way, first. But before you go with PN, I'd look at
TNT
I think TNT is even easier than PN or Metabolism Advantage. Of course, both diets want you to cut out the starchy carbs (You get to eat the starchy carbs at specific times/days for each, so all is not lost).
Both books come with good workouts (TNT's is also by Cosgrove). Both books have recipes and interesting anecdotes. TNT has a couple of forum members feature as success cases, too.
If you're relatively new to lifting and get a good diet going (like TNT), you might be surprised to drop some fat and add some muscle. Many of the newbies over at the TNT forums are doing just that on TNT.

I have MA. It's basically a book that takes the 10 Habits and expands on them. A lot more detail on what and why you should eat like that. Recipes and workouts, too. Seems to simple, but it a pretty easy read with good info on healthy eating.
