Christian dieting?

Let me begin by saying that I don't agree with all that is in these books. (Do we ever? If we agreed with everything we read, why not just write it ourselves? LOL!) I read the book Lay Aside the Weight this week. I don't agree with T.D. Jakes on a lot of stuff, but this was a good book, anyway. However, I looked at his website, and see he has re-gained much of the weight he lost. (Although he still appears to be thinner than what he was before this book.) I think one reason I liked this book is because of the more practical approach it takes with weight loss. (Much like the book First Place: Lose Weight and Keep It Off Forever does.) I've seen more impratical Christian guides to weight loss. If I'm hungry, I'd prefer the knowledge to eat a healthy snack instead of praying as More of Jesus, Less of Me seems to promote. (Knowledge is power, and in the case of Christian dieting, knowledge is weight loss! I never had any nutrition lessons when I was in school, and so I need to learn the basics of healthy eating!) Even with the pray instead of eat weight loss program I felt this book seemed to promote, I thought it was still better than God's Answer to Fat: Loose it. Yes, that is correct, loose and not lose. I don't know why, but I've always had an interest in Christian diet books and the approach they take -- is it more pratical? More spiritual? A combination? Does it include how to handle church dinners? :) I've been known to enjoy reading weird stuff, and I guess this is one of those quirks. Anyone else enjoy reading Christian diet books?
