    I have never read it, but a lot of people on here seem to like The Beck Diet Solution. It's not a "diet book", but is based around cognitive behavioural therapy principles.

    The two that I recommend are John Walker, The Hacker's Diet (free e-book), and Yoni Freedhoff, The Diet Fix. Walker approaches weight loss as a problem of engineering and management. Freedhoff offers a good account of why most people who diet ultimately fail, and then gives a series of principles that have been shown to be effective in making lifestyle changes. He packages those as a ten-day "reset," which is a bit gimmicky, but the ideas are good.

    Another gimmicky but good (if don't get too annoyed by the gimmicks) book is "I can make you thin" by Paul McKenna.

    I also liked "The Pleasure Trap" by Douglas Lisle. Ignore the veganism if that isn't your thing, it's a good book anyway.

    And "Brain over binge" by Kathryn Hansen.

    "French Women Don't Get Fat" by Mireille Guiliano. I think this is one I have read.

    And finally "Easyweigh to lose weight" by Allen Carr. Veganism here too, and a bit repetetive, but a great read.

    Disease-Proof by Dr. David Katz. Amazing and amazingly simple conceptually. Focuses more on health than weight loss specifically, but is a huge motivator to do everything you can to maximize your health.

    "Health at Every Size" by Linda Bacon, this book really helped me change how I viewed myself and my size.

    My new favorite book is The Hungry Brain by Dr. Stephan Guyenet. Neuroscience and nutrition collide into one of the best books ever written, imo.
