My Top 5 Diet Books

Have you been trying and most likely failing on sticking to a diet? Or maybe you just haven't been able to find a diet that works for you. My problem would have to be a mixture of both of those. I am constantly hearing my friends telling me about the new diet they just started and how they are losing so much weight. So of course that makes me want to try it out and there lies my problem. I try to do exactly what they are doing and hoping that I get the same out come. But guess what? I NEVER DO!!! Yep thats right, There getting skinnier and I am...not!! The reason for this is because they were smart and researched different diets until they found the best on to fit there current lifestyle. I say lifestyle cause being on a diet and staying on a diet takes a lot of work!! Its not something that you can just do for a week and then be at your desired weight. Oh no, You have to have will power, will power and more willpower...did I mention the willpower??? Cause lets face it, there is just way to much temptation out there.

I have researched and found the top 5 Diet books to help you try and decide which would be the best to fit your lifestyle.

1.The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss
This would have to be my number one pick for a diet book so far. I have started this book and I have definably been seeing success!! The South Beach Diet focuses on cutting down on all the bad carbohydrates, like the dreaded baked potato, white flour, and white sugar and how to avoid those while still letting you have a huge variety of still delicious and healthy foods like meat, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese, vegetables, etc. There are 3 phases to this diet. Phase one lasts for two weeks. At this time you eat meals of lean meat, select vegetables, eggs, nuts, and low fat cheese. Pastas, cereals, breads, fruit, and starchy vegetables are not allowed during the first phase. During phase 2 many of the foods you were not allowed in phase 1 will start to be introduced. Which includes..chocolate..oh yeah I said chocolate..and once more again chocolate!!! Phase 3 is the phase that you will stay on until you lose all of that extra weight. Don't worry you wont starve..and you will lose up to an average of 8-12 lbs the first 2 weeks and then 2 pounds a week!! You will find great recipes for all three phases of the diet. You can buy this book at HTTP://www.amazon.com and also have a look inside the book. ENJOY!!
