Thread: Diet Books

I personally think they are the biggest scam in the world, and why I am posting it here is to have a bit of a discussion on them. Why do you people buy them? Do you buy them?

I mean, nothing against the people that do, but it seems like you could spend that money on getting some fruit/veggies and making a healthy dinner, doing some exercise etc. In my experience the main 3 things to do to lose weight is:

1) Eat smaller portions
2) Exercise Often
3) Eat healthy foods (though personally I believe you can lose weight eating junk as long as you do enough exercise. i.e. walk to the BK/McD etc.

Is there something I am missing here? Or is just this one of the big book scams (up there with textbooks)?

People want rules to follow so they don't have to use common sense. How many people get in trouble here and say, "it's not in the rules."?

I have the Atkins book.Good book on telling you what the differnce between good and bad carbs are.
