Good Informational Books Regarding Diet

[Mic]

Anyone who has been able to achieve their goals and maintain them for years, can you recommend some good informational books regarding good diet and nutrition? I know that one size doesn't fit all so I'd thought I'd try to get several ideas on books, not just one. I'm very close to my goals I can almost see it but I'm not quite there and I know it has to do with diet. For instance how much protein can the body handle in one sitting? Does it just depend on your size or if your beginning a workout, ending a workout? If you just finished a workout, should you just have one scoop of protein or if your trying to build muscle can you have two scoops? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi Mic,

I don't eat to "lose weight" per se, but rather try to eat to best fuel and support my fitness goals. That said, I'd recommend "Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook". Here's a link to it on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...r_b/002-0536788-9996035?v=glance&s=books&st=*

It's written in a straight forward and easy to read style.

Hope this helps.

Hello:

I agree with the above suggestion. I also like: "Thin for Life : 10 Keys to Success from People Who Have Lost Weight and Kept It Off" by Anne Fletcher.

This book is written about the people who are tracked as part of the National Weight Control Registry.
