The Body Fat Solution: Five Principles For Burning Fat, Building Lean Muscles, Ending Emotional Eating, And Maintaining Your Perfect Weight (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
This book covers it all. But don't look for a quick fix or the next fad, because there isn't any...thank God! This is no-nonsense. It boils down to making a calorie deficit (preferably with good nutrition) to lose weightExercising not with just cardio, but weights tooFinding your emotional triggers to eating and replacing them with better alternativesChallenging your old belief that impede weight lossBut most of all, how to maintain once you reach your goal.This book has all the beliefs about weight loss I'd always held true, such as there is no magic formula or combination of special foods, carbs/fat wars are ridiculous, natural and not processed is best, lifting weights is essential as cardio alone will not change your shape, and that the mind and thought process is our biggest sabatour. Even though Venuto stated what I already thought was true, I did walk away with some "special nuggets" to add to my beliefs and challenge me. I read this a while back. It is very sensible. It goes over a lot of things that you probably already know about being healthy. It brought up a few points that I found very helpful. First: you absolutely will not stay on a reduced calorie diet if you see it as a punishment. Second: you cannot stay on a diet that makes you feel constantly deprived. After I read this, I felt that I was going to get healthy by eating food that I enjoy. I also made the decision that I wasn't ever going to ban any food from my diet. It also helped me to make some concrete goals. If that sounds like something that is appropriate for your situation, I'd recommend it.
