This is an actual children’s book that Reader MaryJean found and was thoughtful enough to snap pics of and send them to me. Trust me, you’re going to love reading this one!
School’s (almost) out for the summer! Not that that means much to most of us adults. (Friend: Charlotte, what’s your summer looking like? Me: Exactly like every other day of my life.) But whatever, the days are long and there are barbecues and pool parties to be had so who needs homework? So instead of telling you a bunch of health and fitness books that you need to read, I’m giving you official permission to skip these five! (Note: I do feel some existential angst about being an author who is now going to rag on other authors but I am not saying any of these books are bad – they’re all wonderful in their own way – I’m just saying that for various reasons you don’t have to read them to get the full effect.)
The Water Secret: The Cellular Breakthrough to Look and Feel 10 Years Younger
The magic bullet: Water, duh.
Summary: Dr. Murad is the man behind the world renown skincare line. While I can’t speak to the efficacy of his pricey products, I do have a lot of friends that swear by them. In this book he tells you how to have great skin through lifestyle changes like drinking more water, eating foods with a high water content and taking some supplements.
What I liked: I definitely appreciate his emphasis on healthy living and his years of anecdotal evidence are impressive.
Why you don’t need to read it: Did you know fruits and vegetables have a lot of water in them? And that sugar is bad for you? Then you already know everything in this book.
“You know, Pal,” Bugs said, “you’ve been looking even porkeier than usual. You should lose a few pounds.” Porky agreed to give it a try.
Body By Design: The Complete 12-Week Plan to Transform Your Body Forever
The magic bullet: A supportive community
Summary: Having founded BodyBuilding.com, Gethin is a rockstar in the bodybuilding community and in this book he gives you a simple plan on how to eat clean, incorporate weight lifting and some mental tools to help you achieve your healthy living goals.
What I liked: It’s all great advice. Research certainly backs up the use of visualization, stress reduction, journaling and community support to help you lose weight and feel great. And of course lifting weights and eating clean are very effective tools for changing your body.
Why you don’t need to read it: There isn’t a single piece of new information in this book. Gethin doesn’t say anything that hasn’t been said and said better by other bodybuilding luminaries. The one unique aspect to his plan is the online community he started and encourages you to join… for a fee. It reads like one long infomercial. Plus, the Gym Buddies and I agreed that his workouts were super boring.
While everyone else struggled to keep up with the instructor, Porky is having daydreams about fudge sundaes.
Lights Out: Sleep, Sugar, and Survival
The magic bullet: Sleep… 9.5 hours of it per night.
Summary: Willey summarizes decades of sleep research and concludes – rightly so, I think – that our modern 24/7 neon-lit lifestyle is as bad for our bodies as Snooki is to the reputation of Italians everywhere. She says that the lack of sleep (caused mainly by our light the night philosophy) is to blame for the obesity epidemic, cancer, mental illness and pretty much every other modern ill.
What I liked: Her research (with contributor Bent Formby – thanks for the correction Sigi!) makes sense – telling people to rise and retire with the sun in order to keep our circadian rhythms in sync just seems like sensible advice. She says we’re all severely sleep deprived and I believe her.
Why you don’t need to read it: If an LSD-tripping hippie and the guy who said the Rapture would happen on May 21 had a literary lovechild, this book would be it. Willey’s over-the-top zeal mixed with his mystical hyperbole makes it really hard to take anything she says seriously. And also, in the winter here to take his advice I would need to be in bed by 6 and sleep until about 9 am. While hibernating for 15 hours a day might have made sense 200,000 years ago it really doesn’t anymore.
Porky gets an eating disorder!
Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It 
The magic bullet: No carbs
Summary: Carbohydrates – yes all of them, even including “healthy carbs” like whole grains and fruit – lead to obesity, a host of illnesses, depression, anxiety and possibly world destruction. He recommends eating as low-carb as possible. Adherents to Atkins, Paleo or Primal diets will find they’re in very familiar territory.
What I liked: If anyone has ever presented a more compelling case for low-carb diets then I’ve never read it. The man knows his stuff backwards and forwards. I’m not entirely sure about his conclusions as they go against absolutely everything I’ve been taught about good nutrition but his reasoning is hard to argue with!
Why you don’t need to read it: If you’ve already read Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health then you’ve heard it all and in greater detail. Taubes says at the beginning that this book was written for people who couldn’t make it through his original 500-page tome. However, if you haven’t read GCBC and are curious as to what all the furor is about then this is the book for you. So if you are looking for new information from Taubes, this book won’t do it for you but otherwise I totally do recommend you read it. It’s fascinating. I read the whole thing in one evening and then went back and re-read it over the following few days. (So I guess I am recommending it to you… but only if you haven’t already read GCBC.)
Intervention!!
The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman
The magic bullet: Tim Ferriss, himself. Naturally.
Summary: Tim Ferriss is a highly controversial character in the fitness world. He goes to all kinds of extremes in pursuit of the perfect body. No training is too hard, no diet too restrictive, no human growth hormone supplement too expensive for him to try. In this book he summarizes all his cheats into neat little DIY-chapters.
What I liked: I’ll admit to being a huge Ferriss fan clear back from when he first exploded onto the scene. How could I not love someone who so unabashedly uses himself as a human guinea pig? It’s what I might be doing if I didn’t have kids, had unlimited money and little common sense. (Aw heck, we all know I really don’t have much common sense as it is.) I ate up his advice on weight lifting, sprinting, jumping and even really enjoyed his “slow-carb” dietary advice. (Not that I use it, just that it was an interesting read.)
Why you don’t need to read it: If you want the Cliffs Notes version of the book go read the first top-ranked user review on Amazon. It breaks it down for you chapter by chapter and saves you 400 pages of Tim’s self-aggrandizement. There’s a reason he was named “#1 Self Promoter” by Wired magazine – that’s the man’s real genius, frankly. But the real reason why I don’t recommend this book is that all of his lifestyle advice reads like the playbook from a super wealthy, super douchey (one of the only times I will invoke the d-word on this site because it is the only one that fits) frat boy. The chapter on female orgasms – yes, the dude has the nerve to write an entire chapter geared toward teaching the other sex to climax – will make any woman want to punch him in the face. (First because of his disingenuous chapter title – total bait and switch – and second because of the totally smarmy way he cons that poor yoga teacher.) In addition, many of his experiments would be impossible for most people to replicate due to the specialized equipment, access to experts and huge amounts of money they required. I went into this book really quite liking Ferriss and ended it hoping that some girl at a book signing gives him a solid kick to the nethers.
Tell me – do you now want to eat more water, lift more weights, get more sleep, eat less carbs and sex up Timothy Ferriss?!? Seriously though what do you guys think of these books and their “magic bullets”? Do you have a health or fitness book I should skip? Or one to recommend I read??
See, this is how you cure an eating disorder: you have to trick them out of it. Don’t worry, it worked for Porky. On the last page he’s eating carrot cake with Bugs and Petunia. Phew.
*All book links are aff
Awww thanks for the book reviews! Very good info 🙂
Hope you and the fam had a mellow, relaxing, holiday!
Why We Get Fat is, in my opinion, a must-read for anyone struggling with metabolic derangements, inexplicable and stubborn weight gain, gut health issues, etc. I read WWGF before I read Good Calories Bad Calories – I agree with you that WWGF is merely a simplified version of GCBC, so reading it in this backwards order really helped drive it all home for me. I’m pretty dedicated to Primal/Paleo because it changed my life in a way no whole grain, egg white or lean protein ever could, but I think lumping Taubes’s books into the Atkins/Paleo/Primal realm like you did here will put your readers off. You touted Primal as being your single biggest failure, so you haven’t done Taubes’s important book too many favors here by adding it to your Don’t Bother Reading list and aligning it with the failure diet.
I read Why We Get Fat also and am a big fan of Paleo/Primal diets. I think Taubes’s book should be on the “must read” list, even if people don’t want to agree with it, just because it forces people to think hard about conventional diet and wisdom. Even cutting 1/2 my carb intake has made such a huge difference.
I agree with you – it definitely makes you rethink what you “know”! I agree too that people should GCBC or WWGF… but they don’t necessarily need both. I guess it depends on if you’re a detail oriented or big-picture kind of person.
I agree… I’ve just finished reading both, and reading WWGF before GCBC seemed more logical. You will get a lot of the info from WWGF, but if you want more detail, GCBC definitely can provide it. I also second the recommendation that it be a must read book, especially for those suffering from metabolic problems or disorders like conventionalwisdomitis 🙂
Great post though Charlotte… enjoyed hearing your take on 4-Hour Body as well. I agree.. Tim Ferris has some good info, but his real genius is in marketing and promotion.
Yeah, I don’t know that I meant to do Taubes’ book any favors. Like I said in my review, I really conflicted about it. His science makes a lot of sense to me and I know a TON of people (like you and the commenters above) who it has been life changing for but when I tried it, I gained weight and felt miserable. Not sure if that was a failure on my part or if it just doesn’t work for my body like it does for others. As for Primal being my biggest failure, I do lay that one squarely on my own shoulders – I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: Sisson is awesome and the reason I couldn’t do Primal was because *I* mentally couldn’t hack it. I still go back and forth on this one and in the end I just feel, well, not smart enough to really get into Taubes’ work and yet I have a hard time just believing it because he said so… Did that make any sense?? I want to be unconflicted…
I love book reviews, thanks so much for this! I wasn’t sure what the hype over GCBC was, and frankly 500 pages is just a bit too much for me, but I’m going to check out WWGF. Its been a while since I read a good fitness/health book, but I did really like the Paleo Solution. Not following the diet, but the book was good.
TF is a d-bag but he can be pretty funny. I’ll admit I even laughed out loud quite a few times during his book. I also thought his book was really disorganized. I never got all the way through it. My favorite health books of all time are Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon and The Maker’s Diet. I’m emotionally attached to that book b/c it was the first health book I ever read and it changed my life even if the guy is sort of another one of those infomercial types.
Lots of the reviewers on Amazon complained about the organization too! It didn’t bother me but then I’m not a regular reader of his blog and apparently a lot of it was taken from the blog…
Though I’m not a person that’s read a lot of fitness books, I HAVE read the one you pictured and summarized so happily for us. I’m glad you were able to share its awesomeness with all of us – a true classic. hehehe.
Wow, I want a copy of that Bugs Book! It looks hilarious (though completely child un-friendly).
I don’t really read that many health&fitness books (I tend to stick to online (free!) articles). It is interesting to see how many different groups advocate completely different approaches to health and fitness though!
Yeah, “interesting” is one word for it. “Crazy making” is another;)
Thanks for the reviews. They were great!
I felt EXACTLY the same about Ferris’ book.
Haha – glad I’m not the only one!
That Bugs Bunny book looks totally weird. I’m not quite sure what the moral of the story is: Eat desserts and be happy?
Tim Ferris is such a jerk, but I admit he is funny. I’d like to go laugh at him AND kick him in the nethers at the same time.
Definitely a children’s book with dubious morals! Strangely not the first of those I’ve read…
Have to admit I’m really fond of Mark Rippetoe’s Starting Strength, which I guess would count as a fitness book? Heavy on the testosterone, but I loved both his writing style and his no-nonsense-ness. If I need a kick in the ass, I go read that one:-)
Oooh yes, that’s a great one!!!
Um, Charlotte, T S Wiley (not Willey) is a *woman*. And “Lights Out” was co-authored by Bent Formby (who is actually a “he”).
Ooops! Thanks for the correction – I fixed it in my post and gave you a shout-out:)
I keep getting recommendations for 4 Hour Body (by both men and women) and feel like I really have to give it a try, but maybe I won’t stress so much about doing it ASAP. Thanks for the Amazon tip 😉
I’m enjoying my copy (well, except the female orgasm chapter which BTW seems ‘spot on’!), but it is very technical. Some of it is absolutely do-able, some of it just makes you think outside ordinary parameters. To me, he comes across as a really hyper 15 year old, but not offensively. Just my 2 cents.
“spot on” ROFL. Yeah, I wasn’t offended until the orgasm chapter. Definitely an entertaining read for sure!
You sure have a lot of personality put into your book reviews. They are much more amusing that way. A book that never gets boring is The Men’s Health Big Book of Exercises. It’s a 450 page catalog of interesting exercise variations for any time I need to spice my workout up or when I kid myself and think I’m going beat Rocky out with my strength.
🙂 Marion
I do like that one! Not much of a read but great as a reference manual! And you can totally take Rocky!!
Sorry but that Bugs Bunny book is pretty hilarious — and yet so sad at the same time!
Even if I’ve already heard the info, I do like reading these types of books — every once in a while there is a little nugget of info that I didn’t know before. I wouldn’t rush out to buy them, but I’ll get to them at some point.
Let me know what you think of them!
haven’t read any of those. but thanks for telling me NOT to read them. i love books like “science and practice of strength training” (very science-y), Starting Strength by rippetoe, female body break-thru by rachel cosgrove, etc. etc.
Great book reviews! I had only heard of the superhuman book before… who wouldn’t want to be superhuman? The bugs bunny book looks pretty funny!
I don’t usually read these kinds of books. Same with cook books. I’d rather just read these blogs and learn it right 🙂
Wow, I had no idea that book existed. Hilarious. And kind of weird, frankly.
I don’t really tend to read fitness books because….well they are boring, typically they are full of magic bullets, and they are ALWAYS overpriced. BUT thanks for the reviews because I was planning on buying a fitness book for my mom — guess I’ll stick with New Rules of Lifting for Women!
That’s a great one!!
Thanks for the great reviews! (And the fascinating Bugs Bunny book. Cute AND bizarre, at the same time, lol!)
I have decided that I’m pretty much done with nutrition and fitness books for the time being. I’ve been finding the things that work for me; being aware of what and why I eat, doing the kind of exercise I enjoy (workouts that challenge me without killing me, lol!), making sure I get a good variety of healthy food and cardio/strength/flexibility training, and rest. And realizing what works for me might not work for someone else. We all need to find our own way.
(Wow, that last sentence? Makes me sound, like, all zen and stuff! Maybe I AM getting a teeny bit wiser as I get older, lol!)
I LOVE love love that you have come to that place – because I know how hard you’ve worked to get there! You deserve all the zen you can get, mama!
Thank you, sweetie!!!!!!!
Speaking of books on fitness, I finished yours last night! And it was a really great read. I really enjoyed it.
And I will totally be skipping all the books in this post. No time for magic bullets right now.
Oh wow – thank you sooooo much! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
“they tried to keep up with the instructor” LOL!!!
I have that Bugs Bunny Book! It’s on our overstuffed shelf of Golden Books.
“I don’t recommend this book is that all of his lifestyle advice reads like the playbook from a super wealthy, super douchey (one of the only times I will invoke the d-word on this site because it is the only one that fits) frat boy. The chapter on female orgasms – yes, the dude has the nerve to write an entire chapter geared toward teaching the other sex to climax – will make any woman want to punch him in the face.” – oh Charlotte, I love your honesty!
Glad you love my honesty – I can be a bit too much sometimes (gotta work on reining that in.)
That Bugs Bunny book is awfully familiar, I feel like I may have owned it as a child!
I love when other people review books such as these so I don’t have to read them myself 🙂
I read Why We Get Fat by Taubes and I think it’s life-changing. I think it’s well-thought out, well-researched and has an extremely compelling argument. As a carb-addict (in a bad way), I always, ALWAYS lose weight and feel GREAT when I give them up. But due to what seems like society’s total dependence on them, not to mention how yummy they are (oh cake and bread, yummy!), I haven’t been able to break the cycle yet. But I’m trying.
Good point about our society’s total dependence on carbs! Like I said above, I’m really conflicted about Taubes. I want to believe him because he’s so darn convincing – and I def. feel better without sugar and simple carbs – but at the same time, other equally convincing researchers refute his conclusions. And my personal experience hasn’t been enough to help me. But I have heard lots of people – like you – who say it changed their lives and I think that’s awesome!
I think my all time fav health book has been “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration” by Dr. Weston Price, loved that book. I talk about it every chance I have to any one. “Eat Fat, Lose Fat” my Sally Fallon and Dr. Mary Engin is fantastic. In this book, they address many health issues as well and ways to correct the underlying problem, easy read. I am currently reading “The Untold Story of Milk” by Ron Schmid and “The Primal Blueprint” by Mark Sission, highly recommend both of them. I have been following a primal/traditional eating style for about a year now and have had great success with maintaining my weight and feeling better, My husband has also lost about 20 lbs as well. I can not encourage eating real food enough.
I’ll have to check those out! Thanks for the recs!! I loved Primal Blueprint the book! (Even though my experiment with it didn’t go so well, that was my fault not Mark’s!)
That Bugs Bunny book would never even be published today! It’s hilarious, and politically incorrect. Love it!
Concerning carbs… I love Taubes’ work and ideas. But I still eat carbs. For the life of me, I couldn’t find the actual hard quote anywhere. But in reading some of her articles and her book “Normal Eating for Normal Weight,” Sheryl Canter brings up the point that no where in nature are naturally high carb foods also high in fat. Foods naturally high in fat are generally low in carbs, including protein. Obviously one of our nation’s problem is combining high fat-high carbohydrate foods and creating some pretty tasty food, which we then consume in large quantities. I’m not advocating the revival of food combining, per say. But I wonder if Mcdougall (strict, nonfat vegan) and Atkins are BOTH right and it’s simply how we combine our foods, instead of eliminating whole food groups.
As for sugar and bygone wisdom of our slimmer vintage 1950s sisters:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1368243/Rationing-chores–How-Fifties-woman-healthier-us.html
I think that’s a book that needs to be written.
Oh wow – thanks for the quote and the link!! Will have to check out Canter’s work. It sounds a lot like what Kessler said in “The Truth About Overeating” with the evil trifecta being salt, fat and sugar.
Wanted to add that I did find the actual quote… My apologies, it is sugar & fat, not carbs & fat. Just wanted to clarify. I hope I’m not hijacking the comments by inserting this.
“But think about this: there is no food in nature that is high in both fat and
sugar. Nuts are high in fat, but not sugar. Fruit and honey are high in
sugar, but have no fat. It took modern chemistry to join the two in ice
cream and other high fat desserts. Humans are biologically inclined to love
a food that’s high in both fat and sugar, but the combination totally shortcircuits
body wisdom. You won’t get a signal to stop eating until you’re
full to the point of discomfort.”
– “Normal eating for normal weight” by Sheryl Canter (p. 155)
I have the urge to watch Bugs Bunny right now! 😉 I love the way you broke down the books & reviews…. and honestly, each person has to find what works for them in life & what their body prefers too – we are all different & one thing works for one person but maybe not another. PLUS, our lives our different so no matter how much we may want to do one thing – well, it just may not fit in with our lifestyle…
Pingback:5 Health & Fitness Books To Skip [Plus 1 you will love to read … | bycafokive
Since you reviewed a diet book like wwgf (which I really liked the good carbs version), what about the Skinny Bitch series of books? I read them and felt cheated afterward. It did not really seem like a true fitness/diet book like I was led to believe it was. Did not know if this book was to much of a touchy book for this type of review.
Talking of books to avoid, my mom bought one a few years ago, I forget the exact title but it was something like “The blood type diet”. What a bunch of nonsense…
I read that one! I agree with your assessment:)
I see where you’re coming from, but I feel like you can’t go wrong with any fitness book. They all work just some may be a bit better than others.
Definitely a children’s book with dubious morals! Did not know if this book was to much of a touchy book for this type of review.
