This is the best book or article I’ve ever seen on the subject of weight. It’s an engaging, easy-to-follow rundown of all of the available scientific research on the subject, including, possibly most importantly, the neuroscience. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Lots of useful science supporting how diets fail long term and that the brain can't be faked into believing weight loss is good.
