If living without pasta and bread, or giving up cheese and bacon make losing weight difficult, the latest diet books may provide some incentive to drop that added holiday weight.
Instead of deprivation, restricting food groups or counting calories, new weight loss plans offer different approaches to slimming without feeling hungry.
"It's really a diet that brings food back on to the plate that people thought they were not allowed to eat," said Ellen Kunes, the editor-in-chief of Health magazine and a co-author with dietician and nutrition expert Frances Largeman-Roth of "The CarbLovers Diet."
Unlike other weight-loss plans that restrict carbohydrates, at least initially, the core of the CarbLovers diet is carbs and resistant starch, an ingredient in bananas, oatmeal, beans and lentils, wholegrain pasta, barley, brown rice, peas, polenta, potato chips and rye and pumpernickel bread - foods the authors have been dubbed "carbstars."
"It acts like a fiber in the body and it does not get absorbed in the small intestine, and also at the same time it triggers fat-burning enzymes and helps to feel fuller," Kunes explained about resistant starch.
The 28-day diet includes a kickstart phase with carb-filled recipes totaling 1200 calories a day, followed by a 21-day immersion plan during which foods such as steak, French toast and chocolates are reintroduced.
Followers of the diet lost up to six pounds (2.7 kilos) in the first week and 50 pounds (22.7 kilos) over five months, according to the authors.
"The best thing you can do is to incorporate good carbs back on to your plate and that is the secret to losing weight and keeping it off," said Kunes.

如果说放弃了匹萨、面包、奶酪和培根的日子使减肥变得困难，或许这本最新的饮食手册能带给你不一样的好心情，享受美食乐趣的同时，不再有节假日期间的增重烦恼。
不同以往限制食物群或计算卡路里的减肥方式，新方案让你不再忍受饥饿之苦也能控制好自己的体重。
《健康》杂志总编辑埃伦.奎恩斯说，“它将那些不允许想要减肥的人食用的食物重新摆进餐盘。”她和饮食营养学专家弗朗西丝.罗斯一起合著了《The CarbLovers Diet》这本书。
跟其他减肥计划要限制碳水化合物（至少一开始是这样的）的摄入理念恰恰相反的是，《The CarbLovers Diet》的核心即碳水化合物和抗性淀粉——存在于香蕉、燕麦片、黄豆和扁豆、全粒粗面食、大麦、糙米、豌豆、玉米糊、薯片、黑麦和裸麦粗面包等食品中的一种成分，作者称之为carbstars。
奎恩丝说：“这种抗性淀粉在体内可起到跟纤维类物质相同的作用且不被小肠吸收，同时它可激活脂肪燃烧酶让人产生饱腹感。”这个“28天饮食方案”分为两阶段：kickstart阶段为全碳水化合物食谱，每天总能量为1200卡路里，接下来是为期21天的美食享受阶段，你可以吃诸如牛排，法式吐司及巧克力等美味佳肴。
作者说，有些试验者在第一周就减掉了6磅（2.7kg），在随后的5个月减掉了50磅（22.7kg）。
奎恩丝说，“所以最好就是将那些“好”的碳水化合物重新放入餐盘中，这才是减肥并保持体重的秘诀。
