in Health and Weight Loss
What are your favorites? They can be weight loss, healthy lifestyle, dieting, exercise, etc. After the Skinny B**** debacle, I would like to find some GOOD books to add to my library.

    I don't have a favorite book, but currently I have a favorite author; Laurel Hamilton. Althought currently I am reading "Barefoot Running; Light and free on your feet" by Michael Sandler. It is a bit quirky, but if you get past the new age spiritual stuff there is a lot of good information about how to start and keep barefoot running as part of your lifestyle.

    I really liked Jillian Michaels' book "Master Your Metabolism". She writes about how our hormones and the things around us (stress, chemicals, etc) all contribute to weight loss. It was quite eye-opening.

    Not really a nutrition related book, but...I love cookbooks, lately:

    'Mastering the Art of French Cooking' by Julia Child
    'How to Cook Everything' by Mark Bittman


    Nutrition-wise, my last read was "The Primal Blueprint" by Mark Sisson.

    All of the Atkins books written by Dr. Atkins.

    My favorite of all time, Mark Sisson, The Primal Blue Print and waiting on my cookbook to arrive now.

    I also like Dr. Eades writings and teachings too.

    Julia Ross, The Mood Cure also.

    I just came across Ali Vincent's (Biggest Loser) book "Believe It, Be It" at the library. It's a pretty good quick read and inspiring too.

    I take it you're not a fan of the Skinny B**** books? Just curious why not.

    Hands down, The China Study. It doesn't get really interesting until page 60-something but after that, I was riveted! :smile:

    The entire thing consists of them trying to convince you to go vegan.. which in itself I dont mind, but I felt it was very misleading.

    Fast Food Nation


    It was an interesting ang thought provoking read - even if possibly a little sensationalist.
    I'm thankful that a lot of his examples don't apply in this country

    I really like the Flat Belly Diet book. I'm not a big fan of "diets" or even planning, for that matter lol which probably explains why it's taken me so long to lose 20 pounds. :sad: Anyway, the book has great recipes and a real common sense approach, for me, to this whole food thing. 400 calories 4 times a day. I am rarely hungry and even though I gave up weighing myself some time ago my clothes are fitting much better!

    One of my all time faves is "The Courage to Start" by John Bingham. It's incredibly motivating.

    Another that I love that is more about lifestyle is " A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle. It'll change the way you see yourself and the world around you.

    Sidebar: when I saw the subject, I read it first as "Lets Talk Boobs". LOL! I need new glasses!
