The Raw Foods Diet: The Vital Gift of Enzymes (1981) by Carolyn Griesse and Jim Karas

The Business Plan for the Body (2001)
Jim's first book and #1 New York Times bestseller will help you if you're unhappy with your body or feel like you exercise and diet constantly don't get the results you really want. If you're still struggling — or if you're simply ready to get motivated and get fit once and for all — Jim Karas has the only weight-loss and exercise plan you'll ever need: The Business Plan for the Body.

Flip the Switch: Discover the Weight Loss Solution and the Secret to Getting Started (2002)
What's really stopping you from losing weight and having the body you've always wanted?  Is it that you've tried everything but nothing seems to work? Could it be a slow metabolism, or is it your genes? Maybe you love to eat but hate to exercise? Or possibly you lack the time, the energy, even the money?

The answer, according to Jim Karas—the man who has helped countless people lose weight and literally reshape their lives—is that it's none of the above. Nor is it your gender, your age, or any other reason you may be wrestling with! The answer, says Jim, is that you still haven't “flipped the switch”—that is, reached a point where the desire to lose weight finally becomes more important than the desire to overeat and not to exercise.

The Cardio-Free Diet (2007)
Are you constantly pounding away on the treadmill but never losing a pound? Does every step on the StairMaster become more and more painful? Are you tired of endless workouts that only make you want to eat more?

Cardiovascular workouts do burn a few calories, but far fewer than you think. And the more cardio you do, the hungrier you feel. Not only does cardio fail to help you lose weight, but it kills -- it kills your time, your energy, your joints, and your motivation. You burn a few measly calories but then eat twice as many afterward. The result? Weight gain -- and lots of it.

The Cardio-Free Diet is a revolutionary four-phase program that emphasizes strength training to boost your metabolism; build lean, sexy muscles; and achieve all the same heart-healthy benefits of cardio. With just twenty minutes a day, three days a week, you can look and feel noticeably leaner, stronger, and younger than ever before.

Weight loss expert Jim Karas has shaped the bodies of Diane Sawyer, Paula Zahn, Hugh Jackman, and even Oprah's best pal, Gayle King. With easy-to-follow instructions, Jim shows you how to exercise the right way in order to see incredible results. You won't just lose weight -- you'll sculpt a whole new physique.

Watch the pounds disappear as you prepare delicious dishes such as apple balsamic chicken, Dijon turkey, feta vegetable omelets, and grilled tomato tuna. You can even enjoy a daily glass of wine! With detailed shopping lists, a variety of daily menus, and helpful tips on how to maintain your diet when eating out or ordering in, you'll never have to worry about what to eat.

The Cardio-Free Diet offers maximum results in minimal time -- so break free from the mindless, ineffective cycle of cardio and get the body you've always wanted!
