- McGraws Ultimate Weight Solution: The 7 keys to self-improvement guru McGraw's weight solution are sound but not quick. First, you have to understand and face your "personal truth"--what you think about yourself and your weight--and replace toxic messages with positive thoughts. Next, step by step, you learn how to counter emotional eating, change your environment, master impulse eating, choose foods, adopt an exercise habit, and assemble a support circle. Each step is clearly explained and personalized with case studies, fill-in charts, and self-tests. His nutrition plan emphasizes foods with high nutritional yields for few calories, and that cannot be eaten quickly (generally because they're high in fiber), so you're less likely to overeat.

- The South Beach Diet: This diet posits that carb are killing us. For good health, this diet will control blood sugar and stop the incessant cravings. Major differences from other diets include a lack of concern over portion size and a lack of concentration on exercise.
