In discussing some G.I. books and Dr. Weil in another thread, I started to think about all the books that helped me to get and stay on plan. I'll share mine if you share yours!
I'm listing below some of the books that have either informed me, motivated me, or inspired me to be get healthier and lose weight. I'll try to group them according to type(ish):
* The New Glucose Revolution, The Authoritative Guide to The Glycemic Index; Jennie Brand-Miller, Ph.D., et al
* The G.I. Diet; Rick Gallop
* Eating Well for Optimum Health, The Essential Guide to Food, Diet, and Nutrition; Andrew Weil, M.D.
* Super Foods, The Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life; Steven Pratt, M.D. and Kathy Matthews
* Thin for Life, 10 Keys to Success from People Who Have Lost * Weight and Kept it Off; Anne M. Fletcher, M.S., R.D.
* Passing for Thin, Losing Half My Weight and Finding My Self; Frances Kuffel
* Minding the Body, Women Writers on Body and Soul; Edited by Patricia Foster
* Two Girls, Fat and Thin; Mary Caitskill
* Body for Life, 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength; Bill Phillips
* The Body Sculpting Bible for Women, The Way to Physical Perfection; James Villepigue and Hugo Rivera
* Supervixen, Secrets for Building a Lean and Sexy Body; Negrita Jayde
* ABSolution, The Practical Solution for Building Your Best Abs; Shawn Phillips
I left off Eating Thin for Life, Food Secrets and Recipes from People Who Have Lost Weight and Kept it Off; Anne Fletcher; because, while I found it sort of interesting, it wasn't usually in line with my nutritional plan and since it's about food I didn't find it to be overall very helpful.
There are also some magazines that I find helpful and/or motivational, like Cooking Light and Fitness for Her and others, but this is a thread about BOOKS (drool) so I'll restrain myself from just completely going off.
What about everyone else??? I would LOVE to hear about what's been helpful to the rest of you! Share the Knowledge!!!
