The thing is I am a 107kg guy who really needs to lose weight and get into shape and in the past I have hired personal trainers to help me to achieve my goals but they have all turned out to be unreliable and expensive so I was wandering can anybody recommend any good books that can teach me all about exercise, nutrition, strength/muscle building and fat loss etc but please recommend any books that's are also easy to understand because I'm not experienced in the fitness and nutrition field.

    It's not a book but I happen to be rather fond of Nerdfitness.com. It has a lot of good advice and keeps the explanations relatable to real people. It might not be your thing but I've read through and enjoyed.

    I recently ready 'fat loss happens on Monday' and would thoroughly recommend it.

    A book on nutrition I really recommend is 10 Steps for Heatly Eating, by Leslie Beck. Her website is also very helpful!

    I've been reading "Burn the fat, feed the muscle" by Tom Venuto. I think it's a few years old now, but has been updated and it seems to get good reviews.

    "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" by Tom Venuto is an excellent book on losing weight, fitness and nutrition.

    I just finished a book called "Commit to Get Fit." It is a nice read.
