Any good weight loss books?

[cmp1223]

Yeah, i know, diet an exercise. But i was wondering if there were any books like Eat, Drink, and be Healthy (the harvard one) that take a scientific approach to wieght loss. ANything that discusses what foods are low calorie yet nutritious, and curb appetite, or can boost metobolism. Not Dr. Phil or Atkins. Low carb is good, but no carb is horrible when exercising so i hear. Also, any discussions on weather one can loose weight and gain muscle at the same time?

1.) Put down the fork.
2.) Cut back on sugar/empty carbohydrates
3.) Eat things which your mommy told you to eat. This means no Wendy's, more leafy greens.
4.) Throw 99.9% of the current 'expert literature' available at your local bookstore out of the window and consult a licensed dietician.

There is something seriously wrong with 'low carb' diets when you think about it. It contradicts common sense. Your body NEEDS carbohydrates. It's only when you get the bad kind that you tend to build up on the tire(s).

Save your money. There is better info online. Use a little common sense and you will be fine. Sounds like you know what you want to do. You need motivation not a book.

Remember that muscle weighs more than fat. Weight is relitive to body composition. If you are more than 10 pounds overweiht you will loose weight while gaining muscle. But if you have a healthy food intake you can actually gain weight (don't worry muscle is more dense than fat so waist size decreses while gaining weight).

Find a thick book to read like rise and fall of someones empire and read it all day or night long occasionally sipping water or miso soup. Libraries can keep you not eating cheaply for days, weeks.... Just hang out in libraries if you need to be fridge free.
