I often get asked what are the best books I would recommend to improve ones relationship with food. That you don’t have any? Everyone has! We all have to eat, and it’s quite natural that everyone has some relationship to food. Although no book can replace the one to one approach that I offer in my coaching practice (tab coaching), these books are definitely worth reading if you:

1. Are overeating and binge eating

2. Are not happy with your body or if you are constantly worried about your body

3. Are thinking about food all day, or are worried what to eat and not to eat

3. Are following some very strict diet such as raw, vegan or fruitarian

4. Are orthorexic

5. Are counting calories or weighting yourself every day

6. Are using food as comfort

Slow Down Diet by Marc David- Eating for Pleasure, Energy and Weight Loss - maybe the only diet that you should follow. Founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating writes about the importance of pleasure when it comes to food.

Food: What the Heck Should I Eat? by Mark Hyman - Even the most health conscious among us (me included) have a hard time figuring out what to eat in order to stay fit and improve our health. But this book will explain what to eat and why.

Food: What the Heck Should I Cook? by Mark Hyman - companion cookbook to previous book. These are wonderful pegan recipes and I tried (almost) all of them!

Keto Green 16: The Fat-Burning Power of Ketogenic Eating by Anna Cabeca - a good resource especially for women after 40 who desire to look and feel young, including a guide to intermittent fasting and full of recipes. A bit too controlling (I’m not a fan of any kind of measurements when it comes to body) but overall a good guide for women who decide to balance their hormones. As we know, keto diet works well for weight loss but it is too harsh on women’s hormones. This book provides a green twist on keto diet and you can never have enough greens!
