I’ve read most of them. There be dragons. There’s an entire landscape of conflicting information backed by conflicting scientific studies. You’ll go mad trying to find an objective answer. But I’d recommend Food Rules by Michael Pollan. Honestly, you can get the summary in the first paragraph below: “Eat [real, unprocessed] food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” https://michaelpollan.com/reviews/how-to-eat/ I’d also rec…
The perfect ten diet - by Dr Michael Aziz I lost about seventeen kilos in ten months following the advice in this book The Leangains method - by Martin Berkhan Science and development of muscle hypertrophy - Brad Schoenfeld
What I got out of that book was to increase the thermogenic effect of food as much as you can, while doing intermittent fasting to control your behavior.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
I'd start with a movie, not a book. The movie is "Game Changers", directed by James Cameron, and released last month on Netflix and Amazon Video. If you're skeptical about the science behind the movie, read the critique published in Men's Health magazine along with the rebuttal from one of the MD's interviewed in the film. Next I'd read "The Engine 2 seven-day rescue diet" by Rip Esselstyn. If you a more in-depth tre…

They do a once off 'experiment' with a sample size of 3 and claim that it's conclusive evidence that eating meat "is bad". Yikes.

I'm going to second the leangains method just for introducing me to the thermogenic effect of food. What I got out of that book was to increase the thermogenic effect of food as much as you can, while doing intermittent fasting to control your behavior. Would love to hear your thoughts.
You can see an actual nutritionist/doctor and get blood tests. It's probably impossible to determine what is good nutrition from any book besides 'dont eat processed food' because of individual needs/genes.

But quick research on Google Scholar points out that it's probably hiding some facts. Like vegans may be healthier but get obese too. It helps with diabetes and insulin resistance, but not completely. Gladiators may have been a little fat, as a form of armor.
What's interesting is a quick search turns out that lacto ovo vegetarians do a little better than vegans. So "animal products" might not be entirely bad.
