Don’t take our word on which weight loss books are most effective; the very best way to find weight loss programs that really work are by reading the ratings of the general public.

Here we’ll highlight 3 weight loss books that have received at least a 4.5 star rating from 10 or more readers at Amazon.com. Collaborative ratings can be more informative than even a recommendation from a friend. A 5 star rating is a good indication that a book is effective and useful for many people from many different lifestyles, body types, and backgrounds.
If I’m So Smart, Why Can’t I Lose Weight?

Weight loss coach Brooke Castillo asks one thought provoking question… if I’m so smart, why can’t I lose weight? The “smarts” it takes to lose weight seem to have little to do with the IQ – instead, Castillo says it has more to do with an under developed emotional intelligence.

Though all of our logic may be screaming “don’t eat that cookie!” we the needy emotional side of us can quickly take over. To quote Castillo, “Ending overeating is about understanding what is going on for us emotionally and taking the time to develop the ability to manage our emotions in productive ways.”

One reviewer says that she has already “released 35 pounds of fat from [her] body” and that she no longer struggles with food.

The Incredible Shrinking Critic: 75 Pounds and Counting: My Excellent Adventure in Weight Loss

Sometimes what we need to lose the weight is just to know that it’s possible. Jamie Bernard, author of The Incredible Shrinking Critic, takes us through her own incredible journey of losing 75 pounds. What I found most interesting is that she’s not finished losing weight yet. Peering into the life of someone who has come so far yet is still in the trenches is refreshing.

Our Lady of Weight Loss: Miraculous and Motivational Musings from the Patron Saint of Permanent Fat Removal

Janice Taylor, author of Our Lady of Weight Loss, says that she was born fat. At age 8, she weighed 112 pounds. But she lost 50 pounds 5 years ago and it hasn’t been back since. What caused the revolution? In the midst of a weight loss meeting, she decided to stop obsessively tracking the food she ate and instead create food-centric art whenever she had the urge to eat.

Taylor offers confessions of overeaters and factoids, but mostly art projects that include sewing, collage and lamp makeovers. According to the summary, most projects call for glitter glue, and lots of it. This may be a great choice for the artistic who don’t find enough meaning in the countless books on counting calories.

Happy Reading!
