The arrival of the month of January seems to the open the floodgates to a high tide of diet books each year. It would be impossible to read them all, but a Miami Herald article recently took a stab at a few of them.

The story took a look at 10 of them, including The Juan-Carlos Cruz Calorie Countdown Cookbook: A 5-Week Eating Strategy for Sustainable Weight Loss and The Portion Plan: How To Eat the Foods You Love & Still Lose Weight, which I wrote about (Portion Teller plan for weight loss).

The article doesn't review the diets, just give you a quick idea of how they work. Check them out, maybe one will the key to weight loss for you.
