When it comes to diet
and nutrition books it feels like a new book comes out every
single day. Each book has it?s own special take on how we
should be eating and what we should be eating.
Some
books say low-carb, others say low-fat. I?ve even read diet
books that are nothing more than a list (hundreds of items
long) of things you MUST AVOID to lose weight. This list even
included soap and shampoo!
To help you cut through all
the craziness and jumbled advice, here is my list of the top
three diet books that are actually worth the time it takes to
read them.
1. ?Eat Stop Eat? ? Brad Pilon -
Mostly this is just gratuitous self promotion, but it does fit
in this of effective diet books. If you are interested in the
scientific research behind the use of intermittent fasting for
weight loss then you should find this book to be both up to
date and accurate. Of the three diet books on this list, Eat
Stop Eat offers the simplest and most convenient solution for
long-term weight loss success.
2. ?The End of
Overeating? ? Dr. David A. Kessler. This diet book is an
excellent review of the psychology of overeating, pointing out
the similarities between drug addiction and addiction to high
fat, high sugar and high salt foods. Kessler presents a
compelling argument that many people are in fact struggling
with an addiction rather than some form of nutrition or lack
of exercise problem.
3. ?Fast Food Nation? -
Eric Schlosser ? This expose into the United States Fast food
industry is not only eye opening but it will help you eat
less. After reading about Schlosser?s visit to a
slaughterhouse you will definitely re-think how often you eat
fast food meals. While not a traditional diet book, this book
definitely has it?s place in your personal diet-book
library.
Honorable Mention: ?Health Food Junkies?
- Steven Bratman - This diet book has
an amazing viewpoint on the whole health food craze that will
probably make you think twice about following the latest
fitness guru diet. If nothing else, this diet book will teach
you to relax while you are following a diet and make sure you
don?t get too obsessed with the rules and regulations of
dieting.
