I'm assuming here, of course, that in any regime you will be choosing you will be following a low-fat vegetarian version.

That said, Dr McDougall's regime seems to be best suited to me. For 'motivational' books I think _Skinny Bitch_ does it just fine, although I think they're a bit heavier on the fats/oils than I like to be.

I had some time to burn and went to the bookstore and did a quick speed read through the Engine 2 Diet. It is about a whole fire house that went no-added-fat-veggie. I thought that was a great book full of information and inspiration. It is a great book for guys to read and learn that "Real men eat veggies". There are recipies too and a web site. It was on the best books list at the store and I hope this book will help bring healthful eating into the mainstream. I would give it five stars.
