You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management by Mehmet C. Oz, Michael F. Roizen Amazon Price: $15.00
Customer Review: I ordered the You on a Diet book and for some reason the us postal service delivered the book, but it never arrived to my suite. So I emailed customer service and they immediately sent out a new book free of charge with 2 day UPS delivery. Great service and the book arrived with no problems. I will definitely continue to use Amazon. Thanks.
The book is great for explaining how your body interacts with food and it breaks down the body system in an easy way to understand. Very good read.
Eating For Life by Bill Phillips Amazon Price: $23.10
Customer Review: Part 1 of the book (74 pages) describes how modern society has trained us to eat incorrectly and how a few simple changes can turn weight gain into weight loss. There are chapters on Myth vs. Fact (that covers common misconceptions), and specifics on the four-part formula for eating right (the right foods, right amounts, the right combos, the right times). The chapter where the author describes his own experiences is the weakest (in spots it contradicts the earlier chapters and it has an overly-conversational style), but it does contain a few additional insights.
I am finding the eating guidelines very effective because they are sustainable--I don't really feel like I am dieting and believe I am adopting new ways of eating that I can use indefinitely. It's much easier to follow than other diet plans that require counting or buying specific foods. I get the sense that as long as I follow the principles, rather than having to be exact, I'll end up with great results without all the stress. I've lost eleven pounds since reading book and following its guidance (3 weeks).
Part 2 contains 248 pages of full color recipes that follow the guidelines of Part 1. It breaks down the recipes by meals with dinners followed by desserts, breakfasts, lunches, midmeals, and nutrition shakes. What really makes this stand out for me is that there are very few recipes I'm not interested in trying. These are practical, mostly easy to make (there are a few exceptions), and very tasty. It has plenty of creative ideas and successfully finds ways to make each dish interesting. The recipes have a few other unique features: each section has a variety of meals that serve differing numbers of people, so it's easy to find a ready-made idea for yourself for lunch or for a family of four for dinner (of course, they can all be adjusted to meet the necessary number of servings). In my experiences so far, the photos with each recipe are faithful to the actual result. Many of the recipes also include a photo of the actual ingredients required, which is an easy way to know at a glance whether everything needed is already on hand. Several of the desserts and most of the nutrition shakes call for Myoplex Lite, the nutrition powder sold by the author's company, but presumably any comparable supplement could be used.
The end of Part 2 includes sample meal plan charts, blank plan charts, and grocery lists. These items can be downloaded from the web site and pri...
The Kid-Friendly ADHD and Autism Cookbook: The Ultimate Guide to the Gluten-F... by Pamela Compart, Dana Laake Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: I bought the cookbook because I have a child with ADHD and other issues. The chicken nuggets are quite tasty. I've also tried the frutie smoothie. It addresses issues of the five sense with food, which is terrific because if you have a child with these issues, there are many suggestions on how to get around them. I am trying the diet for my son and we'll see how it goes. There is a fair amount of recipes, but I think that the recipe section could have been more expansive and less "information" in the front of the book. There is at least 50 pages of why you should do this diet which I'm not sure was necessary. This is why I gave four stars instead of 5. The recipes I have tried are good.

Healthy Cooking for Two (or Just You): Low-Fat Recipes with Half the Fuss and... by Frances Price Amazon Price: $12.21
Customer Review: I bought this cookbook several years ago based on someone's recommendation, and consider it one of my best purchases ever. The recipes are simple to prepare, delicious and healthy. I have not been disappointed in a single recipe. I was a little turned off at first because there were no photos of the prepared foods, but after months and months of use, I can honestly say that I use this cookbook much more than my glossy cookbooks with the color photos. I've since bought it as a gift for friends and relatives and everyone has loved it! My favorite recipe is the Couscous with Sweet Potatoes and Yellow Squash (the aroma of this dish alone is worth the price of the book!), but as I said, everything I've tried is absolutely wonderful!
This is a great cookbook. It's fun to browse through and easy to use with common ingredients, good photos and foolproof instructions. While the recipes are not super low-cal, they're reasonably low calorie and provide both everyday and 'company' recipes.
Eating for IBS: 175 Delicious, Nutritious, Low-Fat, Low-Residue Recipes to St... by Heather Van Vorous Amazon Price: $11.86
Customer Review: Hi,
Yes, many suggestions in this book works as prevention. But when IBS hits me, I finally found quick relief - via Acupuncture. Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sood listed Acupuncture as his top ten alternative medicine. Here is his write up: "In this treatment from traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncturists insert thin needles into strategic, energy-balancing points on the body. Acupuncture can prevent and treat nausea and vomiting and help relieve many types of pain, including that from osteoarthritis, low back pain, neck pain, headaches and postsurgical pain. Patients who receive acupuncture typically receive up to 12 treatments, usually given once or twice a week. " One word of advise - most acupuncturists are not good. Ours teach at a Eastern Medicine University in Sunnyvale, CA and he is honest and excellent.
Men's Health TNT Diet: The Explosive New Plan to Blast Fat, Build Muscle, and... by Jeff Volek, Adam Campbell Amazon Price: $17.13
Customer Review: I have been following the TNT diet and workout program for close to 20 weeks now and I have seen great results. I am 30 years old and I am thinner than I have been in 6 years and probably the strongest I have ever been.
The program is 12 weeks long, but I decided to keep going. I am at the point now where I dont feel the need to strictly follow the diet 7 days a week, yet I am still improving physically (although not losing fat as fast as I was).
Overall this program gave me better results that I ever could have imagined.
