    While I didn't exactly agree with/follow much of the advice in the book, I thought the original South Beach Diet book was very informative. It taught me a lot about about how carbs interact with the body, and I still use a lot of the Stage 2 and Stage 3 recipes.

    The worst? The T-Factor Diet, when I was in high school, during the early/mid-90's low fat craze. I lost some weight, but it all came back, plus some, and remarkably quickly.

    Forks over Knives tho I am FAR from there yet lol.....a plant based way of eating....trys to tug at your heartstrings about how our 'meat' is treated before we eat it....but in theory a great book..some great recipes too.....

    Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto. No fad diets, no BS about "cleansing" or "detoxing", etc. He includes a couple chapters about motivation/inspiration and goal setting which would probably be very useful to a lot of people.

    Michael Pollan's book In Defense of Food. Really opened my eyes about some of the foods I was eating.

    Body for life and body for life for women. They also have a cookbook Eating for Life. As a retired black belt, personal trainer they were the best I ever read.

    Ive read about three books out of them Body for Life was the best and it worked. It also set me up with tools I will hold on for the rest of my weightlifting and cardio days :)
