The excellent Dr John Briffa has a new book out – and it is an absolute winner!
The central tenet of the book is that an intelligent application of a low carb/high quality protein diet, coupled with correct exercise techniques can help us to modulate insulin production and this in turn helps to shift that stubborn belly fat. 

Although Dr Briffa has aimed the book at men – which is fair enough as they are under-represented in the diet/health publishing sector – the book is totally applicable to women too.  
There are no gimmicks here – the approach is sane and logical and grounded in excellent science – as we would expect from Dr Briffa.  I particularly appreciate his expertise and real understanding of how modulation of blood sugar and thus insulin, contributes to fat gain and loss.

The book is written in a very accessible way and is a very quick read.  What I mean by that is that you don’t have to wade through lots of heavy-weight stuff before you get to the meaty bits (no pun intended!).  The info you need is right there in front of you and this means that it is very easy to become highly motivated to make the changes that Dr Briffa suggests.
A personal observation is that I would have loved to see a few more vegan options as low carb can be difficult on this kind of regime. Aside from that though, there are plenty of options for a variety of vegetarian dietary programmes.
