Reviews to Save you Time and Money
There are literally thousands of books on diet and exercise available today. I believe the majority of them are wrong or just over inflated high priced plans based on a few common principals. Having reviewed dozens of these diet books and exercise programs I reached the conclusion there are only a few that are worth the time to read them.
I am presenting the 3 books that I personally consider the top of the industry. These books are all written with a sound foundation and easy to understand format.

Fit Over 40
By coach Jon Benson and Tom Venuto

Price: $39
Review: Those of you familiar with Tom Venuto's superb Burn the Fat, Feed The Muscle (reviewed here) will probably not be surprised to find that his latest offering (in which he teams up with success coach Jon Benson), is another superb publication. I had spent less than 20 minutes with Fit Over 40 when it dawned on me...
Fit Over 40 is unlike anything that has ever been published before in the health, fitness and personal development fields. It's an inspirational and compelling work, one that both enlightens, and educates. Better yet, it forces you to reach deep inside yourself for answers and solutions. And, despite the title, it offers immense value to anyone, of any age.

Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle
By Tom Venuto

Price: $39.95
Review:Burn The Fat program is not a gimmick and requires effort and hard work is definitely the best approach.
Tom Venuto, a respected fat loss expert, natural bodybuilder, and personal trainer, has not just pumped out yet another "diet program" into an already over-saturated market. Tom's Burn the Fat can be more accurately described as a "Fat Loss Bible." It is quite simply one of the most complete, detailed, and precise guides to fat loss you will ever read. What makes it so much different than other weight loss publications on the market?
Well first of all, it's not a "weight loss" program, it's a "fat" loss program. This may seem like semantics or wordplay at first, but once you've read just the first three chapters, there will be no doubt in your mind that pursuing "weight loss" is not only the wrong goal, it may be the reason that you've failed to reach and maintain your ideal body weight. Burn The Fat shows you exactly why it's fat you must lose, not "weight" (which includes muscle, water and other lean tissue) and then goes on to show you exactly how to do it.

The Truth About Six Pack Abs
By Mike Geary

Price: $39.95
Review: The Truth About Six Pack Abs is 106 pages of solid information on how to best train your abs. Not only does author Mike Geary recommend the proper exercises, but he discusses diet and offers meal suggestions as well. (I should also note that most of the book focuses on ab exercise and strength training.)
Mike is a personal trainer, which makes him a very credible source on the subject. I also liked the fact that he gives customers his email address and sends a helpful newsletter with great workout tips. He seems to genuinely want to help people and not just concerned about selling his book.
Slim Fast Diet Plan
Diet plan with prepackaged food
Slim Fast is a good product but the cost can be a deterrent for a lot of people. The plan as written will run about $40.00 each week for the bars and shakes. If you follow the plan, you will then cook one meal per day.
The majority of people only stick with this as a weight loss plan for a month or two.
My Recommendation: The best diet plans are based on sound exercise and nutrition plans. You should eat 5 or 6 times a day and drink a large volume of water. Now preparing and eating 5 or 6 meals each day is not convenient or easy. For two of those meals or even three of the meals, use Slim Fast for convenience.
