Diet Exercise Books

The New Year has come and gone. It is time to buckle down and seriously start working on those New Year's resolutions of weight loss and better health. If you are unsure of where to start and have thought of considering diet exercise books, we may have just the thing for you.

The marketplace is literally flooded with diet and exercise books claiming to be the next big thing. To help take some of the guesswork out, we have compiled a list of tried and true diet exercise books on the market today. Look over the list and choose the one that most closely resembles a plan you can incorporate into your life and stick with long-term.

Diet Revolution

This book by Robert Adkins, MD, teaches users the importance of a low carbohydrate, high protein diet. When coupled with light to moderate exercise, this diet can result in considerable weight loss.

Phase one of this diet is called the induction phase. During this phase weight loss can add up to 15 pounds of weight loss in the first two weeks alone. This is one of the longest running diet exercise books on the market.

South Beach Diet

The South Beach Diet, written by Arthur Agatston promotes a low carbohydrate approach that is less dramatic than the Adkins Diet Revolution. Dieters are actually even allowed to cheat occasionally.

Fitting in Fitness

Published by the American Heart Association, this book goes into detail about how to both start and maintain a fitness program using intentional exercises.

Health at Every Size

This book, written by Linda Bacon, PhD, contains complete and precise information on how to make the best food choices.

The Fit or Fat Woman

This book, written by Covert Bailey, offers comprehensive information about cardio aerobic exercise and how to use it to get in shape.

Be a Loser

This book by Greer Childers looks at 15-minute breathing calisthenics sessions as a way of losing weight and staying thin. This book may be an especially good choice with those who have suffered an injury or have mobility problems.

Different diet exercise books offer different programs and different levels of difficulty relating to both dietary menus and physical exercise. The most important thing to keep in mind as you shop through the different diet exercise books is what you need and what your body is able to do at your current state in life. Remember that just because there may be new and hip diet exercise books on the market that does not make them right for you.
