One book I haven't seen anyone mention is the GI Diet. From what I've heard about South Beach it's very similar but easier to follow. After reading the GI Diet my SO and I each lost 20 lbs, and without feeling like we were dieting at all, and we've kept it off for a year. The main idea is to eat more fruits and vegetables, and for the carbs you eat to have fibre in them. He recommends one quarter protein, one quarter carbs, and half vegetables and fruit on your plate. It's all very common sense and easy to follow. I have to admit, we didn't follow it to the letter, we only really changed what we ate for breakfast and lunch, and it still worked great. Common sense.
