I'd reccomend Ultimate Diet Secrets by Greg Ellis.

He tells u very scientfically what happens to food when u eat it and the metabolic pathways
then he goes on about various diets available today and what diets work and what dont. Very informative read

I think u can buy it at amazon now but he has a website at www.ultimatedietsecrets.com

Babyfaced, I used to talk to him all the time over e-mail and on the dragondoor discussion board. I believe he states that carbs are readily converted to bodyfat in humans, does he write that in his book? If so he is wrong, as this conversion is a significant pathway in rats and mice, but not in humans. Carbs can be converted to fat during extreme intakes over a period of time, w/ the prescence of fats, or w/ inactivity, but Ellis, I believe, says carbs eaten almost instantly go towards fat storage. I think he uses the rat studies to justify this statement. Even thought the denovo lipogenesis (carbs converting to fat) studies in humans show this does NOT readily happen. I've talked about this extensively w/ Lyle McDonald. Ellis also believes leptin was a bust and showed me some studies, but as we know the latest research is showing leptin is KEY in maintaining a normal hormonal environment when bodyfat levels get very low.

And please, correct me if i'm wrong. I'm just going by what he would say in conversation. Another thing is he doesnt look like he got to 5% bodyfat like he claimes he did. His photo gallery is on the site and he doesn't look anywhere near 5% bodyfat.

I agree that Dr Ellis has a very staunch view on carbs and yes i've conversed with him through the internet alot too. Needless to say, the book he wrote is an excellent addition to anyone's nutrition library
