Reading list page

[bb90788]

So I recently got a nook color, and have this weekend mostly free. I am spending it in the hospital with my boyfriend as he is having surgery. I expect I will have a lot of time to read.

I'd like your top lists of books. Here is what I have already read;

Primal Blueprint
Nourishing Traditions
Atkins books, years ago
The paleo solution
Why we get fat
Good calories, bad calories

Also, I don't mind science heavy books or articles at all.

Let me know what you all think I should add. It can be on nook, or kindle as I have access to both on the nook color.

Thanks so much!

That's a good list already. You might want to do a search, as this same topic comes up every month or two.

In sticking with the theme of what you've already read, I'd include The Perfect Health Diet (excellent read and extremely interesting). Also, the topic of Leptin is causing quite the stir at the moment, so if you're interested on getting up to speed you might like Mastering Leptin (only book I've personally read on the subject so far).



Actually, if you don't mind a bit of a hijak I'm going to make an additional request of my own:

Can anyone recommend a good book on Endocrinology? Something they personally have read and found useful? I'm looking for something fairly broad spectrum and up to date (obviously).

Primal Body, Primal Mind by Nora T. Gedgaudas

[DianeThePurple]

The Unhealthy Truth
The End of Overeating
The Vegetarian Myth

Warning: Some of these have stretches that are very badly edited. Do not throw your Kindle across the room.

That is a good list.

I have most of those on ipad.

I was in the hospital a lot this year and also downloaded a Saunders Nursing Drug Handbook and looked up everything the nurses got near me with.

"Time for your IV change and shot..."
"What's in it?"
"Why?"
"I'm gonna look it up...."

Deep Nutrition

[lizzychan5]

Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A Price. Good science never gets outdated and this book was written in the 1930's.

Quantum: Einstein, Bohr, and the Great Debate about the Nature of Reality by Manjit Kumar

[Balance]

Your list is pretty good.

I would like to add:

The Perfect Health Diet
Deep Nutrition
In Defense of Food
Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
