suggested reading
 

so, i am an avid reader. I read all the time, and I read anything. but recently most of my reading is fitness/diet related.

any suggested books or web sites to check out since i'm embarking on this calorie counting journey tomorrow?

I like going through bodybuilding.com they have a 'super site' section that has loads of articles by fitness models. Other than that I just pick up various fitness magazines to keep me motivated.

I'd like to see what others say as I love reading nutrition books, etc.

I am starting Wendy Chant's Crack the Fat Loss plan soon. Its a great book and plan to go by to not only lose the weight but help you through the plateaus and maintain. You should give this book a try....we have a little support forum going also for people on this plan. It's eating regular food but in a way that boosts your metabolism. :)

I would like to read some good books about health, too. So far I really don't have any suggestions, most of the diet books I picked up are in another language. You could always try amazon and look at user's suggestions based on the most popular titles.

I like the Beck Solution. You pick your food plan. This book is a cognitive approach to changing the habits that overeating people all have. I think it's very very good. It helps you to learn to resist food, daily reminders of healthy approaches to food, and much more.
