The Mayo Clinic Diet. The Longevity Diet. The Raw Foods Detox Diet. Pills, potions, cleanses, superfoods. There are so many diet and nutrition books (and their associated tools) out there claiming to provide the one true blueprint for good health; it’s hard for even the healthiest and best-read among us to know what works and what’s bunk.

You may know Dr. Ian Smith as the medical and diet expert from VH1′s Celebrity Fit Club, but he’s also the creator and founder of The 50 Million Pound Challenge, and a medical contributor to ABC’s Rachael Ray. Plus, Dr. Smith is the author of eight health-related books, including his latest that was just released this week – Eat: The Effortless Weight Loss Solution. (Let’s face it: This is one busy man.) Today I had a chance to interview Dr. Smith via video about if weight loss can ever really be effortless; his recent appointment by President Obama to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition; why “diet” is really a bad word; and more.

Meet Dr. Natasha Turner, a Naturopathic Doctor and founder of Clear Medicine, an integrated medicine wellness boutique in Toronto, who recently authored a ground-breaking wellness tome called The Hormone Diet: Lose Fat, Gain Strength, Live Younger Longer. Trust me: This is no diet book — it’s a clinical series of revelatory lifestyle changes based on the hormones that your body naturally produces (or doesn’t produce enough of, as the case may be), many of which will likely be very new to you, no matter how healthy you think you are.

But in the meantime, I asked her a few questions about her very intriguing “non-diet” diet book. More

The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-Lover’s Code of Conduct has caused a wave of criticism, angry Amazon customers, and demands that the online bookseller pull the self-published book from its site. Whether or not you believe Amazon should ban the book, there are plenty of other volumes sold on the discount bookseller’s site that have sparked at least as much controversy. And we don’t just mean illicit novels or racy teenage fiction (although the American Library Association has plenty of those on its most-challenged books lists). We’re talking about books that, like The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure, approach issues of health and law from a non-fiction stance. More
