Rodale's published newer books since then, but I still think TAP's a great intro for a clueless newbie like I was. You buy one handy book, it explains the basic principles, and then says "do this exercise plan and eat this" for nine weeks. Once you stick to it for those nine weeks, you've established the basic habits that you can keep with you.
One of the toughest things for me (and I still feel this way) was that anyone can read JB's Seven Habits or other guidelines, but actually creating a week of meals that complied is quite a challenge if you have never eaten that way before. TAP kept it simple with a shopping list, menu and recipes.
Eventually, though, you do need to "graduate" and figure things out for your future eating plans. And that goes for finding solid workout plans, too.
