Best books to read?

Does anyone have any recommendations on books to read to help kick start a weight loss journey?

I got Allen Carrs easy way to lose weight now as I finally stopped smoking after reading his easyway book years ago, but this book was a hard sell for veganism which isn't a route that I want to explore at this time.

If it helps, here's my challenges:

  • Bread - love it.
  • Beer - amazing.
  • Snacking - both through boredom and having that perception that not being full = being hungry.
  • Willpower - completely non existent. If there's something I want to eat, I can't stop thinking about it until I've eaten it.
  • I've not gained in a long time, but I've also not lost despite wanting to.

Here's what I do well (to an extent):

  • Fat free milk in hot drinks.
  • Reduced sugar in hot drinks from 3 to 2 to 1.
  • Don't binge eat at mealtimes, I'll stop when I feel full.
  • Cook from scratch every day and meals are balanced for the most part. Generally a protein such as chicken or beef, a starch such as potato or rice, a couple of veg/salad such as broccoli, or lettuce.
  • Get takeaways only once a fortnight.
  • I weigh my food and calorie count so I can see that my breakfast lunch and dinner are fine and macros are good - it's those in-between snacks (usually toast) that knock me out the park.

Happy to take recommendations!
