Diet Detective's 2011 Diet, Fitness and Healthy Cookbooks

Here are some of the most recent food, diet, fitness and health books:

Crazy Sexy Diet: Eat Your Veggies, Ignite Your Spark, and Live Like You Mean It! by Kris Carr (Skirt, 2010)

I have to say that I'm always skeptical about diet books written by people who are not experts. However, that said, you can learn something from everyone, especially someone who is inspirational. Kris Carr is a best-selling author, motivational speaker and wellness coach. She was also responsible for an inspirational documentary for TLC that chronicled her journey from cancer diagnosis to healthy living. The essence of her program is low-glycemic, vegetarian-based and geared to balancing the pH of the body. Kim is down on the population's sugar, meat and dairy habits -- and believes they can be toxic. She also is an advocate of cleansing the body. The book is colorful, doesn't have to be read in order from beginning to end, and again, while many of her arguments are not supported by research, many of her ideas are worth a good hard look.

Bring It! The Revolutionary Fitness Plan for All Levels That Burns Fat, Builds Muscle, and Shreds Inches by Tony Horton (Rodale, 2010)
