It seems every time you turn around, there's a new diet book on the shelves. Now, whether we like it or not, controlling our weight is important in the fight against sleep problems. I've chosen ten diet books that I consider worth a look. I've read all of these, and, while the entire diet plan might not be right for you, you're bound to find a tip or two that's worth remembering. To avoid showing preference here, because we're all different, these are in alphabetical order.
1. Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution
The core concept of The Atkins Diet is Dr. Atkins' theory that over-consumption of and hypersensitivity to carbohydrates is the root of our problem with being overweight.2. The G.I. Diet
If you can understand a traffic light, you can understand this diet--and lose weight permanently without feeling hungry, counting calories, or jeopardizing your health.
3. Low Carb Dieting For Dummies
"Low-Carb Dieting for Dummies," offers a less restrictive diet than Atkins or South Beach. It differentiates between good carbs and bad carbs, and also between good fats and bad fats.4. The Maker's Diet
A friend gave me this book after receiving a free copy from her church. Biblically based and scinetifically proven, "The Maker's Diet" uses a truly holistic approach to health. This groundbreaking book leads you on a journy that will change your life.5. The Mediterranean Diet
Scientists have discovered that traditional Mediterranean cuisine is one of the most healthful, nutritious diets in the world -- one that can help everyone lose weight and enjoy lower rates of coronary heart disease and other chronic conditions, including diabetes and cancer.6. The Rosedale Diet
Those frustrated with South Beach, Atkins and the Zone may find a friend in the Rosedale Diet. Its founder, a nutrition and metabolism expert with a practice in Denver, has developed a diet plan that teaches people how to control leptin, the key hormone that regulates appetite.7. South Beach Diet
Dr. Agatston is not a nutritionist or diet doctor. He's a cardiologist and created this diet for his own patients, people with cardiac and diabetic problems. The diet worked for them and became so popular that many people became interested and wanted to give it a try.8. Take Control Diet
I picked this up at Walmart last week. It's a very simple plan, calorie based. If you're tired of low carb/low fat or fad diets, give this one a try.9. The Thyroid Diet
Although intended for those with thyroid problems, but it contains excellent advice and diet tips that will benefit anyone.10. The Zone
This revolutionary approach to diet was developed by a respected researcher and health consultant. It is a lifelong health program designed to bring the body into total balance.Do you have a favorite diet book?
