My favorite diet book

I've read more than my fair share of diet books, and I make fun of most of them.  So you won't find a lot of book reviews on the blog because I don't want to be mean in public.

There is one book I can recommend without reservation.  Despite the really cheesy title (Magic Foods... really?), it's a wonderful compilation of research reports that promote moderation and practical eating.

Again -cheesy title.  Don't judge the book by it's cover!  :)

"Magic Foods: Simple Changes You Can Make to Supercharge Your Energy, Lose Weight and Live Longer"

compiled and edited by Readers Digest.

I've bought two copies of it, and need to buy a third.  The last people I lent it out to won't give it back.  What makes this book so great?
