It sounds like there's some duplication of resources already in place here. For book reviews .. there's a sub-forum in the Technical section dedicated to book/plan reviews, complete with stickies (that nobody reads) outlining the desired format. Properly formatted reviews are published on our host site, http://www.lowcarb.ca/atkins-diet-and-low-carb-plans/. There hasn't been a new submission in a long time, hint hint

Regarding food lists .. While there are sticky threads with food lists in the Atkins section, folks should know that not all authors will allow their food lists and program details to be published without permission (other than a book review). More than once, we've had to pull threads due to complaints/threats from a disgruntled author or their publisher!

OTOH, a sticky thread where links to various off-site resources can be consolidated in one place is a good idea .. albeit a lot of work. Keep in mind that any thread calling for off-site links will be a spam magnet . We've already removed spam posts from this very thread, with "helpful link" to some scam diet pill site
