Books about what to eat and why, written by physicians, dietitians, coaches and people who changed their own health through food. Approaches vary widely, from plant-based to low-carbohydrate.
This list holds 26 books published between 2016 and 2026. A book is on it only when nutrition and diet is a central subject of the book, judged from the book's own description, not when it comes up in passing. The most-rated on Amazon come first.
