If you are looking for some good books about diet, I loved 'The Omnivore's Dilemma' (this is not a diet book, but it's about how food is produced in the US and why there is corn in absolutely everything nowadays); 'Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy', which DOES have very well founded science about diet. It's the only nutrional book I've ever read that actually covers all the major studies done about diet and says, "this is what we are very sure of, this is what we think is probably true, and this is what we're guessing." Very refreshing!

Also, I'm getting into the new Lifetime show "Cook Yourself Thin". It has a lot of really good tips.

Oh wow - 'Omnivore's Dilemma' is incredible, isn't it??? Just a WOW.
