Hi Everyone

Has anyone got any suggestions as to books? I am talking books on workouts, general diet help, exercise, that sort of thing.
I know about New Rules for Lifting for Women, which I need to get. But are there any others?

Thank you :)

    It Starts With Food by Dallas & Melissa Kaplan is amazing!!!
    I learned more about nutrition in the first 50 pages than I had ever known. It is a book based on Primal / Paleo eating however is very informative and easy to read and understand.

    x 1 million!

    Also, I would suggest picking up a basic nutrition book. Like even "Nutrition for Dummies", above and beyond any diet book or fitness book, I think it's a good idea for everyone to get a basic understanding of nutrition before trying to manipulate nutrition to meet goals. It also helps you filter BS in diet books if you have a basic level of nutrition knowledge. This is wayyy too often skipped IMO.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I have just bought a copy of 'It Starts With Food' book. It will take a bit to get to me but it whould be worth it. I am also getting a copy of "New Rules of Lifting For Women'. I will be looking into 'Starting Strength" when I've got a bit more money. Keep the suggestions coming! Thanks so much :)
