The following are some of the most popular diet books in the market right now. There is also an explanation of the diet advised by the book and how it claims to affect you.
Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin – Eat all the bread, pasta and rice you want but no meat, dairy, sugar, refined flour or artificial sweeteners. The diet is not for quick weight loss but rather a healthier eating habit.
How to Eat Like a Hot Chick by Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent – This book professes more ‘smarter’ eating than healthy eating. You can enjoy most of the food items you take now by just tweaking them a bit. Being a long term solution, it does not show immediate results. The tone of this diet bible is fun (more like talking to your girlfriend than being taught the healthy eating do's and don'ts) and the principles are simple — everything in moderation.
The Zone Diet by Barry Sears – One of the all time favourite diet books, this has been popular since the mid 90’s. This book focuses on regulating the amount of insulin in the body as that is supposed to make us fat. The hard-fast rule is that every meal should contain 40 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent protein and 30 percent fats. Weight loss of at least 2.2 kg is claimed in the first week, followed by about 0.5 kg every week after.
