Weight Loss Books
- You on a Diet:
This is the plan I am currently following. I'm never hungry and I've lost my cravings! I highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a new plan. Even if you don't want to follow the plan, which was featured on Oprah, it does a great job of explaining weight gain and loss. I found it very motivating.

Thin for Life:
I found this book extremely inspirational. It makes you feel that even if you've tried everything to lose weight, you shouldn't give up. It examines "success stories" from the National Weight Loss Registry. Everyone lost weight (and kept it off) using the best system for them. But it looks for patterns of success, so that you can follow it, too. I think that this book is probably the best weight loss book I've ever read.

Eating for Life:
I hate to cook. Hate. To. Cook. But the recipes in this book are so simple, I decided to go ahead and give them a try. And they're DELICIOUS. Plus very healthy! They even have pictures of all of the ingredients, which I love. My favorite is the Balsamic Salmon Salad (p. 111).

8 Minutes in the Morning for Real Shapes, Real Sizes:
Jorge Cruise teaches you to follow some basic principles, and they really work! "8 minutes" sounds like a gimmick, but it's really a sound philosophy. Some weight training, combined with small, balanced, frequent meals will help boost your metabolism. Of all of the weight loss plan books I've bought, it's the best, and I lost weight pretty quickly with it. I'm going to continue to use the principles as I lose weight.
