The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook
In an ideal world, people would make small changes to their diet and activity patterns, losing weight and fat slowly. In an ideal world, I'd like world peace and a pony as well. The reality is that people often want (or sometimes need) to lose weight and fat rapidly. Unfortunately, most of the ways they go about it are flawed.
The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook describes a scientifically developed approach to rapid weight and fat loss based on research over the last 30 years. Depending on your starting weight and bodyfat percentage, true fat losses of 4 to 7 pounds and weight losses of 10 to 20 pounds in 2 weeks are not impossible.
Topics covered include basic nutrition and human metabolism, how to estimate bodyfat percentage, how to set up the diet and what to eat, the role of exercise in weight/fat loss, and metabolic rate slowdown.
Additionally, the book describes how to incorporate deliberate breaks into the diet and how to move to maintenance (or back into a more traditional moderate fat loss diet) when the crash diet is over.

A Guide to Flexible Dieting
See if this sounds familiar: you start a new diet and everything is going great, then a problem crops up. It could be a slight slip (I only want one cookie), or a special event or even a vacation. What to do? If you're like most dieters, the guilt and lack of control will cause you to abandon your diet and go on the post-diet food binge, putting all the weight you lost back on plus some more.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Based on research into rigid versus flexible dieters, as well as both the physiological and psychological reasons that dieters so often fail, A Guide to Flexible Dieting offers a solution to the problems that face dieters in the real world.
In A Guide to Flexible Dieting, you'll learn how deliberately breaking your diet (in a controlled fashion) can make it work better in the long run. Free meals, structured refeeds and even a full diet break (where you take a full 2 weeks off of dieting) are all discussed and explained in detail. As well, you'll learn how to eat at maintenance once your diet is over as well as how to adjust your current diet so that it's producing optimal results.
A Guide to Flexible Dieting is not a traditional diet book, it doesn't describe a specific diet but the strategies within can be used with any other diets out there. If you're tired of failing on your diet because you keep doing things the same way, A Guide to Flexible Dieting can offer you a solution.
A Guide to Flexible Dieting is $19.95 and can be ordered by clicking HERE.

The Ultimate Diet 2.0
The Ultimate Diet 2.0 is an updated version of a cyclical diet introduced to the world of bodybuilding over 15 years by bodybuilding gurus Dan Duchaine and Michael Zumpano.
Including an overview of the physiology of both muscle growth and fat loss, the 7 day UD2 cycle also gives specific guidelines for each day of the diet, what to eat, how to train, what supplements (or drugs) to take.
Based on the most recent scientific research, the UD2 is an advanced diet for advanced dieters, individuals who are already lean (men should be 15% bodyfat or less, women 24% bodyfat or less) and who want to get leaner without sacrificing muscle mass.
It will also help both men and women get rid of stubborn bodyfat. It can also be used by athletes such as powerlifters or endurance athletes to lean out while maintaining performance. It is not an appropriate book for the casual or beginning dieter.
The UD2 is $19.95 and can can be immediately downloaded by clicking here.

The Ketogenic Diet
The Ketogenic Diet stands alone as the only singular complete reference work on low-carbohydrate diets such as "The Atkins Diet" and "Protein Power".
At 325 pages and containing over 600 scientific references, it covers the topic of low-carbohydrate diets in a way that no other book does.
The Ketogenic Diet also includes a full review of exercise physiology along with chapters containing exercise guidelines and specific exercise programs.
Two modified ketogenic diets, the Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD) and Targeted Ketogenic Diet (TKD) are discussed in detail and guidelines for optimizing each of the diets is given.
The Ketogenic Diet is not a 'diet book' in the normal sense (you won't find 150 pages of food lists and recipes); rather is is a technical reference manual for low-carbohydrate diets.
It is written in a rather neutral, scientific tone but when you're ready to learn all of the details of what happens when you reduce carbohydrates, The Ketogenic Diet is the only book of its kind.
The Ketogenic Diet is $34.95 and can be immediately downloaded by clicking here.

Special Report #1: Bromocriptine
Although ostensibly about the dopamine agonist bromocriptine, this booklet mainly deals with the topic of bodyweight regulation, how your brain sense how much weight and fat you have on you and how it alters your physiology when you diet.
The first 5 chapters of the book cover nothing but bodyweight regulation and anyone with an interest in the topic would be well served by reading it.
The remaining part of the book details how the drug bromocriptine can help your diet by tricking your brain into thinking you're not dieting.
Even if you don't care about the drug information (and I cover everything from clinical data to side-effects to potential benefits and risks), you'll learn something about bodyweight regulation by reading this booklet.
Bromocriptine is $19.95 and can be immediately downloaded by clicking here.
Bromocriptine is only available as an e-book. Package deals for E-books can be found at the bottom of the page.

The CKD files
Way back in 1996, I wrote a series of diaries detailing my experience with Dan Duchaine's Bodyopus diet.
It's safe to say that, if not for those diaries, I wouldn't be whatever it is I have become.
A year or two back I decided to collect all 26 weeks of those diaries and package them with some other miscellaneous stuff I had lying around about cyclical ketogenic diets.
That includes a few articles from a now defunct bodybuilding magazine and a series of question and answer columns I did for various online magazines. All are included in the CKD files.
The CKD files is really for the ketogenic diet/Lyle McDonald completist and is mainly for entertainment value.
The CKD files is $9.95 and can be immediately downloaded by clicking here.
The CKD files are only available as an e-book. Package deals for E-books can be found at the bottom of the page.
