With all the books on weight loss around at the moment, it can be hard to know which ones will help and which will be a waste of money. I’ve had a look through the good and the bad, and here are my top ten favourite weight loss books!
1. Weight Watchers: A Loss That Lasts
I love weight watchers. The communities are always very close knit, and they support you though the losses and the gains. This book sums up all the tips and hints that you get at the meetings, as well as dispelling common rumours and being the friendliest weight loss book I’ve ever read.
Price: $9.32 at amazon.com
2. Our Lady of Weight Loss
A brilliant book that helps you to lose weight while providing motivation and humour on every page too. It’s a brilliant book, and should be the bible of women trying to lose weight. Its packed with advice, and is just perfect.
Price: $7.89 at amazon.com
3. Weight Loss for Dummies
If you’ve ever read a ‘For Dummies’ book, you’ll appreciate how funny but clever they actually are. They even manage to make economics full! I have this book, and regularly get it out to read some more of the fantastic tips. It’s definitely worth buying!
Price: $26.99 at amazon.com
4. The Japan Diet
This made the news on its release, and that is why I bought it. It is full of useful advice and tips, though, as well as a good insight into Japanese life, and I would recommend it to anyone. It is more of an advice book then an actual diet, but the tips are adaptable to your lifestyle. Plus, its a lot cheaper than some of the others!
Price: $0.29, used, at amazon.com
5. The Weight Loss Cure They Don’t Want You
To Know About
This is a another tip-packed book which is definitely worth the read. I’d ask your friends and family before you buy it, though, or check out your local library. The diet itself seems quite difficult, and has different success rates. While I know several people who have had a lot of success, others have felt disappointed that they saw no change. It’s not suitable for vegetarians, either. If you’ve tried it, I’d really love to hear your feedback on this one!
Price: $8.98 at amazon.com
I prefer to watch a video with some exersising. It can help better than a book!
I would like to add “The Fat Smash Diet” by Ian D. Smith, M.D.
I actually followed this diet regimen for one full cycle, and lost 15 lbs. as a result of it. If you like fruits and vegetables, you will love this diet. I really enjoyed it, and plan to do it again, after New Year. Will keep you posted…
These all look like great books. Another one that I just recently stumbled across is “The Perfect Formula Diet: How to Lose Weight and Get Healthy Now with Six Kinds of Whole Foods,” by Janice Stanger. The book details a science-based diet built on rotating six kinds of whole foods to work with your body. Amazing.
