Dieting Books

I want to congratulate the author for writing Weight Control: The Medical Reality. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It presented technical medical information in an informative yet interesting manner. It is packed with thought-provoking ideas and facts. I found excellent information to help maintain good health. The information is presented in a clear and logical manner so that medical information is easy to read and understand. I found the glossary informative as well. I have read many books in my teaching profession and this is one of the best that I have come across. I highly recommend it to all age groups: teens to seniors.

I only wish I could have read this book twenty years ago when it was first published! The author's gentle approach helped me to learn the listen to and trust my own body's wisdom. And using the techniques and exercises she described in her book, it was so easy. I like her writing style, simultaneously both personal and professional. It felt like she was talking directly to my heart. Her guided imagery, especially the "Inner Guide" was especially helpful.

I wanted the 7th edition, i thought it was but whatever, it was shipped fast, but wrong book

This is a hidden gem - apparently no longer available - but virtually every recipe is very tasty - not just tasty for diet cooking, but tasty by any standard.

As someone who has tried to follow the anti dieting approach for several years I too have been dismayed at my weight continuing to go up even though I felt I ate healthy foods and I exercise. This book shows that for many people it takes more than that to lose weight or to even stabilise at a weight that feels acceptable. Once we have looked at emotional reasons why we eat and have moved to a healthier way of living and if we are still far fatter than we think is healthy then I feel like Shelley Bovey we need to take scientific steps to move that weight down and that may include a form of dieting, but dieting in the most healthy way we can.

Dr. Morgan presents a clear and concise explanation of how to approach weight loss. Here is an MD that truly understands the complexity of shedding pounds... and tells it like it is. Her "9 Simple Weight Loss Tips" became the backbone of a significant weight loss program for me. The exciting thing is that now, a year after loosing 37 pounds, all has remained off. The book has literally allowed me to reshape my life and my body. Thank you Dr. Morgan!

Mia has described the food elements in all our foods. It is done simply and completely, and belongs as a reference in everfyone's kitchen. It is NOT a diet fad book, but strictly a reference for the health conscious person.

Holt gives the reader a very interesting and rational look at eating insects and the precedents for doing so in Western culture. He takes us from Greece up to what was his modern day England with examples of Heroditus' Aristotle's and Darwin's eating insects and how they prepared them. Excellent read that would solve the world's hunger problems in a single afternoon if our creepy crawly little friends were just included in our diets!

I love books about nutrition and fitness, and this has to be one of my favorites.... It's clear, easy to read, and full of information... It gives you the science in an easy to read format, and covers many nutritional bases...

Particularly when used with the author's other book, It's Not About the Weight: Attacking Eating Disorders from the Inside Out, this workbook describes efficient systems to track emotional progress on the weight loss journey, specifically naming emotions, identifying hunger level, redirecting triggers, making self-talk helpful, setting goals, managing time, making a weight-loss contract, overcoming procrastination and stress, logging exercise and measuring success.
