.....with Gretchen's post about the WW cook book and Rebecca's post about Dr. Phil's book I thought it was a good time to ask-


1. What "diet" books do you own? Have you followed the diet?

1. What "diet" books do you own? Have you followed the diet?

Haha....just about anything low-glycemic/low-carb. I did follow Atkins for a year and a half, and have tried to eat low-glycemic for years. It fell apart last spring while at school, just now getting back on it.

2. What other 'health' related books do you have?

Not much. "Eat, Drink & Be Healthy" by Dr. Walter Willett, and yesterday I picked up "Fitness for Dummies". :-)

3. Which health/fitness magazines (if any) do you buy?
I'm exploring. I have this month's issues of Shape and SELF, just subscribed to SELF last night.

I don't actually own any diet books. I've looked at a lot of them, but I just haven't been dedicated enough to commit to any diet plan.


2. What other 'health' related books do you have?


I have a Walking for Fitness book somewhere, but I don't even think I've really looked at it at all.


3. Which health/fitness magazines (if any) do you buy?


I have a subscription to Cooking Light which I love, but I do most of my fitness reading online at the various magazine sites.

'Fat Flush'- think it came free with a magazine I bought. Didn't follow-- I really am not the type to follow a strict and regimented diet.


2. What other 'health' related books do you have?


Couple of Yoga ones- that's about it. I 'read' most of my health/fitness stuff on the net.


3. Which health/fitness magazines (if any) do you buy?


Actually I hadn't bought any in a l-o-n-g time, but the other day picked up 'Fitness'- after reading some of you getting SELF I was reminded that that was one I do really like; will have to look out for it and pick it up in the next couple of days.

Vanessa, what was Oprah and Bob's book like? Were there workout idea's and such (recipes, etc....) or was it more of an advice book layout?

IG - it was more of the advice book layout. When I just grabbed it off the bookcase I saw it was sitting next to his "Get With the Program" book which I forgot I had. But back to "Make the Connection" to give you an idea....


Chapter 1 - Why We Eat


Chapter 2 - Purpose of Body Fat


Chapt 3 - Physics of Body Weight


Chapt 4 - The Ten Steps
