What books have you read?

  • Specifically pertaining to weight loss and nutrition. I recently read Mastering Your Metabolism by Jillian Michaels, and now I'm wanting to read more. What do you recommend?
  • I started out reading Fighting Globesity by Phillip and Jackie Mills, it was really good, I really liked their down to earth, practical approach
  • The End of Overeating is apparently very, very good. It's on my list.

    Omnivore's Delimma and the Chine Study are also excellent.
  • I think the South Beach books are very beneficial. Even if you don't want to follow that specific diet, it teaches you a lot about healthier food choices. I think it gives a good basis for just an overall, healthy lifestyle.
  • I am currently in the middle of both Jillan Michaels Master your Metabolism and The Beck Diet Solution!
  • Any of Michael Pollan's books on eating, for sure. I'm in the middle of a book called "Waistland" right now (can't remember the author) - it's about how our biological urges to consume haven't kept up with evolution and modern society and how to overcome those challenges. I don't necessarily agree with everything the author says, but it is an interesting read.
  • I like "confessions of a reformed dieter" by AJ Rochester. Really good if you want to read a weightloss story based around a normal person. I can sometimes get sick of reading stuff by "the experts" and this is a read that's inspiring and very motivating as well as pretty funny.
  • The Belly Fat Cure by Jorge Cruise and Gary Taubes' Good Calories, Bad Calories. Both have changed my life... and my dress size!
