A quick look at the best weight loss books

If you’re looking to lose weight, buying a weight loss book or cookbook can be a great place to start.

However, knowing which book to buy can be challenging.

While many books promise quick results by drastically cutting calories or restricting entire food groups, these diet plans are difficult to maintain and can foster negative relationships with food and your body.

Instead, we rounded up the best books that focus on sustainable and realistic approaches to weight loss.

Keep reading to see our picks of the 11 best weight loss books.

We rounded up the best weight loss books using the following criteria:

  • Expert authors and contributors: We included books that are written by experts in their fields, including registered dietitians, medical doctors, and personal trainers.
  • Realistic approaches to weight loss: We chose books that offer realistic, sustainable approaches rather than recommending drastic measures for weight loss and healthy eating.
  • Reviews: The books on our list have mostly positive customer reviews.
  • Vetting: The books included on our list have been vetted to ensure they align with Healthline’s brand integrity standards and approach to well-being. You can read more about our vetting process.
