Books about losing weight and keeping it off, by physicians, coaches and people who changed their own bodies. Methods range from fasting and low-carbohydrate eating to strength training and changing how you think about food.
This list holds 13 books published between 2017 and 2025. A book is on it only when weight loss 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.
