A couple of years ago, I bought a book called Body for Life by Bill Phillips. If you are looking for a guide to help change your eating habits, this is a great book! It stresses healthy eating, not dieting. My husband pretty much follows this book's principles and has 6 days of healthy eating and one "cheat" day. I have not been quite as disciplined, but this is a great book, and best of all, has a ton of healthy recipes! Just looking through the recipes has shown me how using different ingredients or cooking things slightly differently can make all the difference in a healthy meal. I'm going to try to cook from this book more.
Also note, I was taking that photo as my camera was dying--it probably doesn't look very good, but trust me, this dish is yummy!
