(Part 3) Reddit mentions: The best other diet books

The fact that you have realized that you need to change your relationship with food is a victory and a step forward in itself! A "lifestyle change" from unhealthy eating habits to healthy eating habits doesn't happen overnight and you shouldn't expect it to. So, remember to be patient with yourself! I too LOVE eating. I love the experience. I love the taste. I love trying new foods. However, I promise it is possible to love and enjoy healthy options just as much (if not more!) than unhealthy options. It just takes time.

Processed and unhealthy food options are loaded with salt, artificial ingredients, and TONS of sugar which is highly addictive. They also lack nutritional value which is the most detrimental part because our bodies need specific nutrients to function properly. When our bodies don't receive those nutrients, we instinctually want to eat something because that is our bodies telling us that it needs something (nutrients). However, if you don't eat foods with the nutrients your body needs, you will keep wanting to eat, and the vicious cycle continues.

After you start feeding your body the right foods with the right nutritional value, your hunger/cravings will be reduced, you will have more energy, and your body will eventually start to crave healthy options versus unhealthy options. You will also start to have more energy which will make working out easier and eventually enjoyable! Also, when it is time to eat a meal, do not engage in any other activities while doing so (watching tv, playing on your phone, etc). Eat at a table with no distractions and pay attention to your meal and how it makes you feel (full, hungry, satisfied, etc). This is a little more challenging than it sounds. Especially if you have never done it before, but it is very helpful with fighting the mindless eating habit!

Obviously, trying to eat a healthier diet is key but I have some ideas below that may not seem as conventional, but I hope you give them a try!

1. Try to quit drinking soda, juice, sugary coffees, energies, etc. entirely
   
2. Drink 3L+ of water every day
   
3. Buy a juicer and drink 1-2 fresh juices every single day. No matter how much you hate it at first, really try to drink the fresh juices. Over time you will start to enjoy them. Trust me! It happened to me!
   
   If you are looking for some good info and juice recipes, checkout Reboot by Joe Cross. He also has a really inspiring documentary called Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead that I really enjoyed.

   I hope you find some of these tips helpful!
   

I'm no dentist, but it almost sounds like you had gum disease this whole time, and that the new chewier foods are irritating the already fragile gum tissue. Check out dental blotting asap.. I'v only been doing it for a week and a half, but already my gums have stopped bleeding, and the gums that were receding are healing. Floss only once per day if you have to -- it's very irritating to gums.

I've actually switched to a paleo-ish diet to heal my tooth issues, and it's doing a wonderful job. Make sure that you eat liver once or twice a week, and get organ meats in, and include good amounts of vitamin c from food. This book explains it better than I can.

I actually prefer to eat my meat in stews, I find that the meat is more tender, and it really never gets stuck in my teeth. If i do have stuff leftover, the blotting removes it for me easily.

Be easy on your gums now. Cook your veg, eat mush if you have to. Your gums will heal, it will just take some good nutrition, a positive attitude, and some good tooth blotting!

You seem like you would be a very good candidate for a ketogenic paleo diet if you are willing to cut carbs even more and to start cooking for yourself. This will help you shed the last mile of extra weight and to heal your body from the damage I can tell it has sustained based on your past numbers. Check out this book: https://www.amazon.com/Primal-Body-Primal-Mind-Evolution-Intended/dp/0982184107, which is a great resource for anyone starting out paleo and a great read.
Most of all, keep going! And get your wife to join you! Good for you for taking your health into your own hands. Best of luck.

Literally going through a version of this right now.

Diagnosed Hashi's at 17, put on levo and 11 yrs later still had symptoms and felt absolute blah.

Jan. 2018- needed to try something to change this, so I started a keto diet, felt better at first then worse (also avoided gluten like 80% of the time)-- Around April I found out about the AIP diet and tried a mostly, paleoish/AIP as much as I really could, diet, most importantly avoiding gluten altogether. I then staggered eliminating potential problem-causing foods, getting rid of dairy first, then nightshades, etc. As a poor foodie who enjoys cooking, it was tough, but doable. Lots of repeated recipes.

Of course, come these past holidays I had to test some limits. I had eliminated all of the AIP "categories" - I was hangry - but I was also DEFINITELY feeling better. So I had some nibbles here and there, only testing one type at a time, and in a small amount. And, if I had some cow dairy, or a sizable amount of gluten, I got a reaction :( Physically, irritated white bumps on or inside my lips, then a slew of Hashi symptoms, like that fatigue man.

I absolutely scoffed at the thought of a "gluten free" diet when it first popped up too. I hate that I have done the time to test it, with this result. But... I do love learning new, healthy recipes. It sucks, but most doctors aren't interested in treating the cause of these symptoms. Read up and research, take everyone's experience and story in, and listen to your body! It might be gluten, or it might be another sensitivity, but your body's reaction should be a good gauge.

This and This were my starter books looking into the science of what was causing everything, This was helpful when eliminating foods, and lately I've been adapting some recipes from this book (+ meat!) which has been very tasty.

If your goal is to be under 300 lbs by December 31st, prepare to become a massive over-achiever! So completely doable!!

Please - at a bare mimium - if you have $.99 to spare, visit Amazon .com and buy Gary Taubes book "The Elusive Benefits of Undereating and Exercise." If you like his delivery, probably the best book I've read on low-carb is Taubes "Why we get fat: And what to do about it". Incredibly strong stuff. It reads like a text book - he's a an investigative science and health journalist with a degree from Harvard in applied physics and (because that was not enough) a masters degree in journalism from Stanford.

Entering the low-carb world without reading Taubes is like walking on stage to perform a few Bach violin concertos without ever having taking a lesson.

that's cute and snide and all, congratulations.

This is my freshman year nutrition text book. It wasn't terribly complicated to read and I think a 'layperson' would be able to get a lot of useful information out of it.

Hope this helps

Go buy Joe Cross's book, Reboot With Joe (https://www.amazon.com/Reboot-Joe-Juice-Diet-Healthy/dp/1626340811) as it will have all the resources you need. I've done a 48 day and a 15 day and found it to be the best source of info and recipes.

As for calories, you will eat fewer calories which is what helps you lose weight. The secret is to drink as much juice as you can, 6 to 7 servings a day, and you'll be fine. Sweet fruit (as opposed to non sweet fruit like cucumbers) should be as limited as palatable. The goal is to drink green plants as much as you can, using the other juices to keep your motivation up and give you some other vitamins. Drinking a rainbow is a common juicing phrase, have a green juice, then a red one, another green, then a yellow, another green and then an orange. By doing this and by rotating your greens between the different green plant families you'll do fine.

Just to chime in: Being on keto means cutting out sugars and grains. You didn't get to your current weight overnight (I know you already know the rest of it!).

But beyond weight loss, there are so many positive benefits to overall health that giving up the pasta (pasta...omg pasta. It's my crack)--err, I mean, sugar and grains--was worth it.

What I did, because cutting out sugar and grains seemed totally impossible to me, was to not replace any sugar or grain products once I finished what was already in my house. It took a good 7-8 months for me to finally move into ketosis, and the first effect of it, for me, was that my bones stopped hurting.

What convinced me to do something I thought was completely impossible was reading "The Diet Cure" by Julia Ross, which helped me to understand the effect that these foods have on our bodies, and why they're so much worse for us now than they were 30 years ago.

Sugars and grains cause inflammation, so removing those from my diet has had multiple benefits, besides no more aching bones. Colds are non-existent or very short duration. Allergies are mostly at the worst height of spring/fall. Since grains are grasses, removing them seems to have taken away my allergy triggers for the most part.

Now that I've been eating like this for almost two years, it seems I am much more healthy than I've been in two decades.

But, you know, there's nothing like education to help you understand the benefits of keto and to take control of your own life. Keto for you might not be the same as for me. I seriously recommend studying the sidebar links, asking questions like you just did, and reading other people's experiences.

Good luck to you! KCKO!

Edit to add: I find it easier to stick with keto when I start my morning with fat and protein. So I put a tablespoon of ghee into my morning coffee (cream, xylitol to sweeten), and when I'm ready to eat actual food (usually not until mid-morning) I have some form of protein, usually a hard-boiled egg at work, or whatever I feel like at home.

What I found happening was that I was no longer driven by hunger. Sugar and grains (which are often just one dietary process away from sugar) make our insulin levels rise and fall. It's that yo-yo of insulin that makes it so hard to resist any kind of carb.

I literally could not eat one helping of pasta if I made more--I had to eat the entire thing even if it made me sick from overeating. That's why I called it my 'crack.'

Buy this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Nancy-Clarks-Sports-Nutrition-Guidebook/dp/0736074155/ref=sr_1_26?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1302951007&sr=1-26

It's great, has some recipes, and provides a real take on what your body needs when you're working out. Just realize that your body expends Carbs first, it likes burning carbs, when you're working out, so eating carbohydrates is essential. There's a certain ratio between what provides you required carbs while still being nutritious, things like chips and candy bars being at the lower end of that ratio.

My recommendation is to eat a bagel with some peanut butter or some cereal with some milk. Also, if you're looking to lose weight, being "hungry" isn't necessarily a bad thing. You need to start telling your body what to do, not the other way around. Make sure you're giving your body what it needs and past that, try and fight your cravings. Make sure you're refilling your body after you work out, eating some carbs, some protein, and giving your body its sustenance post-work out.

Another thing you might want to note is that the neuro receptors in your brain for being thirsty and being hungry are very closely related. This means that a lot of the time when people think they're hungry, they're actually thirsty. I'd suggest trying to drink a big glass of water, chances are that will relieve your hunger.

This article explains it perfectly.

https://heartmdinstitute.com/diet-nutrition/honest-truth-canola-oil/

Also not to be preachy, but the reason I found out Canola oil/Vegetable oil is garbage is because of this book. it goes into minute details of epigenetics and the benefits of a traditional diet. Fantastic read if you're interested in that sort of thing.

Junk food = salt, sugar and fat. Just like in cave man days we crave fat and sugar because of the powerful energy boost and we crave salt to stave off dehydration. In those days the faster you could find food the safer you were because you avoided exposure to predators. This could be one of the attractions of fast food. Lots of cool ideas about eating in Mindless Eating.

Well, Susie Orbach disagrees.)

It's funny, my mother was overweight and is a huge feminist. Taught me all the good stuff about equality, the history of the movements and even some thoughts about sexism against men and the differing forms of masculinity.

This book was on our bookshelf for years and years, and I didn't understand it at all. And my mother told me about how the societal pressures of being beautiful were much harsher on women.

So in the last two years, my mother has lost about 40kg, and is very firmly in a healthy BMI range. She's an inspiration to me. Every incidental piece of fatlogic she passed onto me is bullshit, because she fought it off. Every sincle piece, like how you have to be unhappy to be healthy.

At my wedding last month, she told me that she feels stronger, healthier and much more happy with her femininity.

Fat IS a feminist issue... In the way that crippling yourself and forcing people to find you beautiful is a vapid, stupid goal.

Kevin Bass, Evelyn CarbSane, Mic the Vegan, maybe Christopher Gardner. I like looking at presentations for different medical professional gatherings. Most still represent a very anti keto style. Nina Teicholz has been disinvited from an event because others didn’t want to be associated with her.

Figure out what works for you and ignore these people that talk about "you should follow this exact formula and not deviate from it one iota!" Your body has a different metabolic rate than mine and the next persons, all of our bodies process food in a different way, so you should figure out what works for your body. Try eating something small before a game, see how it works out for you. If you find you're getting hungry in the middle of the game, try eating a little more. If you're feeling bloated or get an upset stomach, try moving your small intake back an hour and then back another hour if it still doesn't work.

The two things I will mention are this: Carbohydrates before your game, protein and carbs after. Your body uses carbs first when exerting high levels of energy which means you want your body to have a ready supply prior to doing anything active. Afterwards, Protein will provide the fuel you need to help with muscle repair and carbs will help replenish the stores of carbs that you've lost during physical exercise.

You should try to eat right after if you feel like you worked fairly hard, especially if you're trying to build muscle, but prior to is really going to be up to what your body can handle.

The best thing I can tell you is to get a book that doesn't give you a regiment to follow but explains what your body does with nutrients. I couldn't recommend a better book than this, she doesn't tell you WHAT to eat, just helps you understand your body more and gives advice on how to find what's right for you.

I hear a lot of people praise Arnold's book, but has anyone ever read Franco Columbu's book "The Bodybuilder's Nutrition Book"? I ordered it yesterday and I'm pretty interested in what he has to say.

Just throwing this out there. Everyone who wishes to lose weight should read this or this if you're more scientifically inclined. The former is basically a synopsis of the latter and without detailed footnotes/references.

The idea people get fat because they exercise to little and eat too much is false. There is no evidence for causality between calorific intake and getting fat. To put it in another more helpful way, you don't say children get tall because they eat too much. You say they get tall because of hormonal 'imbalances' which results in an increase in food intake. The same applies to obesity. You get fat and THEN eat more to compensate.

Obesity ultimately boils down to carbohydrate (particularly the refined ones, e.g. sugar) intake and the body's response. When you eat high amounts of carbohydrates, they appear as glucose in your blood stream. Cells will use this glucose as a source of energy, however there will almost definitely be a surplus of glucose that your cells cannot use immediately so your body stores it.

Insulin is a hormone which is released before, during and after you've eaten to help control blood glucose levels.This increased level of insulin will tell your cells to increase their uptake of the glucose from the bloodstream. How this is stored is dependent upon the cell type: muscle cells store it as glycogen (a rapid source of glucose), liver cells store it as fat and glycogen, while fat cells store it as, you've guessed it, fat. What should happen is that as your blood sugar levels decrease and insulin levels decrease in a corresponding manner, fat is released from fat tissue as a source of energy.

Once fat is in the fat cells its stored as triglycerides. These triglycerides are too big a molecule to get out of the cell and therefore stay there until broken down. Insulin is the hormone which is primarily responsible for the storage within fat cells via the increased activity of an enzyme known as lipoprotein lipase. Another enzyme, hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), is responsible for the breakdown of triglycerides. Insulin also works to suppress HSL and therefore suppresses the breakdown of triglycerides. Basically insulin does its best to store and keep fat in fat cells.

Another implication of prolonged increased levels of insulin is that our body will 'lock down' energy stores and our cells are starved of the necessary energy source they require to function - we get hungry quicker. As a result, wee eat more often and/or we eat more when we do eat. Moreover, our bodies get bigger, we require more fuel and therefore eat more.

ANY diet that does work is one which cuts carbohydrates. It's just most diets miss the point and insist you cut down calorific intake (which usually means a proportional cut in carbs).

TL;DR - cut carbohydrates from your diet, not calories, if you want to lose weight in comfort. Replace lost carbs with more fat and protein. Eat shit load of meat. Buy above book(s) for better explanation.

There's a few books that go into detail about this. The World Peace Diet and Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism probably rank at the very top of them.

Here’s one. Perhaps a bit salacious, but that’s journalism for you:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/420186/

And here’s a couple books/resources I found helpful that offered some useful tools. I by no means follow any of these things to the letter, I just use what works for me from them and leave the rest.

http://normaleating.com/

https://www.amazon.com/Rules-Normal-Eating-Commonsense-Undereaters/dp/0936077212/ref=nodl_

https://www.amazon.com/Fat-Feminist-Issue-Susie-Orbach/dp/0883659875 - good read whether you’re a woman or a man or a feminist or not

it sucks when you kinda feel in the wind. hopefully you get a new specialist soon.

BRAT is a good short term solution, for when you're sick. Everyone's dietary needs are different long term, but I also found this book to be very helpful. Its about reducing your intake of inflammatory foods, and taking steps to understand what your body reacts to. I share it with everyone recently diagnosed: https://www.amazon.ca/New-Eating-Right-Bad-Gut/dp/0452279763

Snag a copy of Mindless Eating. It's got loads of little brain hacks you can use to eat less without a lot of work. Eating off of smaller plates, fluffing up sandwiches with lettuce and other veggies to make them look bigger, whipping up smoothies with a lot of air so a smaller amount of liquid looks bigger. :D

I also restrict my sweets consumption to those things I make myself. If I want a cookie I have to hop on my bike, go to the store, buy the ingredients to make a batch of cookies, and then bake a batch. It's amazing how the desire for a cookie fades when I have to do all that work to get one. (I don't eat all of them myself; they get given away.)

I recommend Sugar Blues. It is an incredible expose on the sugar industry and western medicine. It was one of those books I just couldn't put down. Once I got the refined sugar out of my diet, whole grains and vegetables tasted - good. One of my favorite books.

Also, if you want to stop eating meat and you love animals I would recommend From farm to fridge. But, I will warn you it shows incredible cruelty to animals and put images in my mind that have not went away. Some people argue that it is one sided, but I don't care. I don't want to be part of that process anymore. The book Forks over knives is a great vegan cookbook, btw.

Here's one.

Although most of what I learned comes from this book. It's fantastic and covers everything from eating disorders to homosexuality and how it ties back to brain development - highly recommend it

Everyone is different. I did many things. The Modified Atkins (basically what people mislabel as ketogenic) and that helped a lot because I was eating a max of 25 carbs a day. Also quit all stimulants (coffee, fruit, added sugar, caffeine). Carbs cause glucose spikes. Keto diets keep your glucose levels consistently low without fluctuation (as if you were fasting). This does not cause you to go near a hypoglycemic state. Book name & resources below. If you decide to do it don't half-ass it. Read the entire book. You have to stay strict for at least 8 weeks in the beginning or don't waste your time reading the book and resources below.


I started Onfi today and if that doesn't work I am going to do the PKD (Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet) from the Paleo Medicina research group out of Hungry as a last resort. It's Ketogenic with only animal meat and fat. Extreme. Supposed to be better than modified atkins.


https://www.ketonutrition.org/practical-guides-to-the-ketogenic-diet This website is the product of Dom D'Agostino. He is one of the leaders in the research field of ketogenic diets. Lots of good information on the website but the book below has everything you need to know condensed.

Ketogenic Diets: Treatments for Epilepsy and other Disorders By: Eric Kossoff, John Freeman, Zahava Turner, & James Rubenstein

I never said anything about chiropractors. This is just one person who has published this information online. This information is available in other places as well.

This book also covers the topic of unhealthy/healthy fats extensively. Written by a real doctor to keep you happy.

but I can back this up with evidence (facts are hard to come by in science..). This and another book by the same author provides very compelling evidence for the view that obesity is not the result of over eating, but overeating is the result of obesity. The former book has ~100 pages of references for 400 pages of text. The latter is a synopsis of the former.

Obesity is the result of carbohydrate intake (particularly the refined ones like sugar) and your body's reaction. Nothing to do with caloric intake.

EDIT: and this is where I first heard of the book. That post and the comments are worth a read (if I remember rightly!)

I've found the book "Eating Right for a Bad Gut" to be a pretty helpful guide for what I should and shouldn't eat. It's not spot on for everyone -- for example I can eat beets without a problem, while it's one of the few things in the "never" column -- but anyone with a sensitive digestive system could probably use it as a jumping-off point for finding trigger foods and safe foods.

I got this book a ways back [The Bodybuilder's Nutrition Book] (https://www.amazon.com/Bodybuilders-Nutrition-Book-Franco-Columbu/dp/0809254573) by Franco Columbu

Though probably a lot of it is outdated I like the golden era thought process and his approach.

He recommended a lot of fruit prior to workouts and I've been wanting to try it for a while but don't really like eating fruit.
Past two weeks I've been blending 16oz of assorted fruit with creatine an hour or so before workouts.

Made it to the gym 12/14 days and just feel better when I'm done training. Also fiber. Will continue for a few more months and report back.

Check this out. It takes about a half hour to read. It’s not that CICO isn’t true as a matter of physics; it’s just that the systems are so complex that a purely calorie reduction approach leads to other compensations that result in all the weight coming back.

Be sure to read the reviews.

It is controversial but you know which side I am on :)

https://www.amazon.com/Ketogenic-Diets-Treatments-Epilepsy-Disorders/dp/1936303108

Read this book, it’s great. It explains how each meal has to be the correct ratio of fat/protein/carbs. Seasoning has carbs. I have epilepsy and the information in this book is priceless.

> a Vitamin D lamp

Amazon: Often bought with The Vitamin D Solution

It has helped me with some intense carbohydrate craving and binge eating. I originally read about it online in this thread and then ended up buying the "Diet Cure" book by Julia Ross.

> To put an end to cravings for sweets & starches, try a combo of glutamine & chromium.
>
> 500-1500mg L-glutamine first thing in the morning, midmorning, & midafternoon
>
> 200mcg Chromium with breakfast, lunch, dinner & at bedtime

Vitamin D Solution -- It's an ideal adjunct to the keto diet.

I used the following books as a guide [I also got them on Audible so I could listen to them as I did work around the house - I have have ended up listening to them multiple times]:

Theoretically a fasting process stimulates pancreatic regeneration.

Here is a book on the concept.

Using sensodyne pronamel toothpaste can reduce some sensitivity. From my understanding, a broken tooth shouldn't hurt unless a nerve is exposed... in which case a root canal is required. I have a lot of dental problems and I can't pay for my treatments up front, so I use CareCredit. It's pretty much a credit card for dental work. But I can make small, affordable payments each month.

After watching the documentary, I bought/read this book to really give a full understanding of it all before buying my juicing and going all in. It also has a ton of recipes in it for juicing/healthy eating, etc.

yeah... are you eating more? Are you losing fat but gaining some muscle?

If you're running to lose weight, you need to be careful of your diet as well. Assuming you run 50 miles @ 9 min/mil pace you've spent 450 minutes (~7.5 hrs) on your feet.

Also, assuming you're a her, you burned, very roughly, 7000 calories. Theoretically, about 3500 calories equals one pound of body weight, so if all 7000 calories spent running were a deficit, you should expect to have lost ~16 lb.

Most likely you had an increased appetite due to the activity, or were consuming more calories than you needed to begin with. Eating only 500 calories extra per day would put you at losing only 8 lb. You can probably see how important you diet is then if losing weight is your goal.

If you're looking to learn more, this book is full of good info.
