If your New Years resolution to lose weight has lost steam in the heat of summer, here are five recent books that may recharge your motivation.

Drop Two Sizes (Rodale, $21.99): Rachel Cosgrove, co-founder and co-owner of Results Fitness in Southern California and 2012 IDEA Personal Trainer of the Year, is a Womens Health magazine fitness expert and top personal trainer who wants you to throw out your scale. The book is a day-by-day workbook that offers a 12-week customizable diet and exercise plan with daily menus, recipes and cooking tips as well as strength and cardio workouts that involve little more than a set of dumbbells. The 263-page softcover book offers an easy-to-follow blueprint that lays out a balanced day of easy recipes, daily tips and focus reminders, workout schedule and motivation.

The 2 Day Diet (Three Rivers Press, $15): British research dietitian Dr. Michelle Harvie and oncology professor Tony Howell started the whole 2 day on, 5 day off diet craze with this book, which was just released in the United States. We originally heard about the way of eating as part of a plan to lower the risk of breast cancer (Howell is research director of Genesis Breast Cancer Prevention), but one of the side effects of the diet happened to be somewhat effortless weight loss. The plan is pretty simple: eat a low-carb, high-protein diet two days a week, and for the rest of the week follow a Mediterranean-style diet. In clinical trials, followers of the 2-Day Diet lost almost twice as much fat and inches around their waist than those on a continuous calorie-controlled diet. The book tackles those tougher two days with recipes so you can maximize your limited choices, including vegetarian options.

The Parisian Diet (Flammarion, $26): Dr. Jean-Michel Cohen is the host of a Dr. Oz-type show in France and is one of Frances leading nutritionists. His latest book offers Americans French secrets to staying thin without deprivation. A fat burning overview can help you build a clear outline of what you need to focus on to accomplish your fat reduction objective if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an advanced or more boost level of their weight loss strategy. Following are seven steps that can serve as methods for your personal weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same thing. Many weight loss programs have fooled people into considering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by resulting in a person's body to lose more muscle cells and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Dr. Cohen says the biggest pitfall to most weight-loss plans is deprivation, and his plan aims to circumvent that with 325 recipes, which include foods like pasta, bread and potatoes. Yep carbs are not off limits on his plan but youre not going to be sitting down to a trough of spaghetti. Its all about portion control and calories, which you will calculate using his Right Weight formula. There are three phases to his plan: the Caf Phase, which is an optional week or so of restricted calories; the Bistro Phase, which lasts two to three weeks and is heavy on protein and fiber-filled foods; and the Gourmet Phase, which is for an extended period of weight loss until you reach goal.

Clean & Lean Diet (Kyle Books, $16.95): This is another European import author James Duigan is a celebrity trainer who has helped whip Elle MacPherson (who wrote the foreword), Hugh Grant and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley into shape. This book was a big hit in Europe and has been updated and revised in the U.S. edition. The book is split into two sections: Clean shows you how to clean up your diet by eating the right foods, staying away from caffeine, refined sugar, alcohol and processed foods, avoiding stress and not being afraid of eating healthy fats. The Lean section of the book gives you a two-week menu of easy-to-make meals, recipes and a pantry list, beauty tricks, a 12-minute exercise plan, and how to stay clean and lean for life.

Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit (HarperOne, $14.99): Now out in paperback is personal trainer Drew Mannings self-imposed experiment where he spent 6 months skipping exercise, eating a typical American diet and gaining more than 75 pounds. Manning never had problems with his weight and he wanted to see the struggles his clients go through. In the first month, he packed on 20 pounds, which he says, shocked him. Thats the fit to fat part. He then put into action the same advice he was giving his overweight clients to lose their weight and came up with a three-part plan. The Beginning is a lower-calorie plan that focuses on fresh produce and lean protein. The Balance is for the long term and maintenance, adding in more carbs. And The Breakthrough is a plateau breaker.
