Calories & Books

Julie Hadden (former Biggest Loser contestant), wrote in her book "Fat Chance" to treat your calories as money.  For instance if you are on a 1200 calorie a day allowance, think of it as $1200 for food.  Is that candy bar or treat really worth 3 or $400?  Probably not.  This has helped me on multiple occasions!  I know I have read in multiple places that women are typically set on a 1200 calorie budget and men are at 1600.  This should be a minimum as your body still needs fuel to keep running!  You don't give your car extra fuel...because it won't fit!  Think of your body as a gas tank, if you give it more food than it can handle its going to bulge! 

I have ready many weight loss books by various different people, and I thought I would go over them again to be able to give everyone a pseudo review of them.  Remember I am no professional so it will definitely just be my opinion!  Would love to have everyone's input on their favorite, not so favorite books!
