The hungry brain: outsmarting the instincts that make us overeat / Stephan J. Guyenet, 291 pgs.
Why are so many of us eating too much? What is the reason behind our seeming inability to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle? There actually ARE reasons and science behind them. This book delves into the many factors working against us. It is interesting how many things there are to factor into this equation. The world is a different place, food is different and for many, change is difficult because our brains are working against us. This book gives a summary of lots of these factors and also a plan to help make changes. Interesting reading.

Born Round
Born Round: the secret history of a full time eater/Frank Bruni 354 pgs.
Well this guy has tried at all. I'm talking about unhealthy weight loss schemes. Bulimia, fad diets, fasting, speed, none of that worked but somehow, after becoming the NY Times restaurant critic, he learned to control his portions and exercise regularly. This book had too much navel gazing for me but it is a hopeful tale about how we can change no matter our age. - Christa
