Top Five weight loss books
The Omnivore’s Dilemma
This book by Michael Pollan is about how we are always spoiled for choice when it comes to the foods we eat. Nothing causes us more anxiety than deciding on the food to eat and consequently, we end up settling for the lowest common denominator, which is convenience. However, convenience comes at a moral and an ecological price and the writer takes us on a journey that is probably unsettling to many into what we eat, focusing on the origins of the meals and on the effect of different foods on our bodies. From this book, one catches an alarming glimpse of what farming has evolved into today and the real difference between genetically modified produce and organic produce. The book is set in the United States, but it is a great read for anyone who wants to go on a diet.

The book takes us on a witty and informative voyage through our bodies to explain why and how fat is stored or burned and it provides those who want a better waste line and better health with the necessary tools.
