Do you have a weight loss book that helped you? What did you like best about it?

Not a fan of books. Usually just a person trying to make money by making what is really very easy to understand, vastly more complicated. Eat a well balanced diet, consuming fewer calories than your body uses, and you win. For free.

I know authors want to make money, that doesn't bother me. It doesn't mean that some books aren't helpful. And yes calories in vs calories out is a simple rule to follow, but what about the psychological and motivational support that many people need to even care about the calories?

Jamie's Comfort Food! So many yumdelicious recipes. Plus he gives calorie counts for everything so even if I make rough variations, I at least have a guiding point for when I'm planning my day.

I love New Rules of Lifting for Women, it really opened my eyes to strength training and made it my new passion.

I LOVE Cameron Diaz's Body Book and Linda Page's Healthy Healing. Now, I am a total Yogi. I hate counting calories, and diets of any kind.. (besides the kind that are rich in nutrition) .. However, my overeating got way out of control. So now I use (this website) and these book as a resource for everything. Everything from meal plans to supportive supplements, and from exercise routines to aromatherapy (and other woo-woo therapies) .... I love 'em!

Dr. Mark Hyman has numerous books on healthy eating.

We have a Mark Hyman book and a Chris Powell book. I've read the Hyman one, I think it's called the Blood Sugar Solution. It wasn't bad. I haven't read the Powell book. But I get all the support I need from the people on this site.

My daughter found a cookbook for me that is simply wonderful! Great recipes, complete nutritional information. "You Can Trust a Skinny Cook" by Allison Fishman. Also, even though I don't have Celiac disease, I have a friend that does, and found a really great gluten-free cookbook. "101 Best Gluten-Free Foods". It doesn't name an author, but is published by Publications International, Ltd. in Lincolnwood, IL.

I just recommended Diet Cults to someone on a different thread. Super helpful book.

This isn't what others are suggesting. It's not an instructional book or an advice book or a cookbook - it's the story of a woman trying to lose weight, and all of the real-life struggles that go with it. "Such a Pretty Fat: One Narcissist's Quest to Discover If Her Life Makes Her *kitten* Look Big, or Why Pie Is Not the Answer" by Jen Lancaster. Highly recommend!
