My all-time fave is by a different Beck - Martha Beck. She has written for Oprah's magazine. The title of the book is
The Four-Day Win. It's more about the psychological aspects of dieting.
What I like about it is the feeling that Martha Beck "gets" us dieters and how we think - she doesn't just dictate some impossible-to-follow diet. She helps the dieter find what works for them, and how to end the internal war between the "I must be good and stick to this rigid diet"
vs. "I don't care, I'm gonna eat what I want"
. And all the ensuing confusion
and despair
that plenty of us are familiar with.
Also, there are a lot of LOL moments - you don't often get that with a diet book!
