My own books will be published soon, I have been published in others’ books, and recommend a couple of great books that will help you lose fat, build muscle and be healthy.
I am represented by Inkwell Management in New York City and we are actively pursuing publishers. Soon, I will take your money. But not yet…
Emotional Eating Book
I’m in the process of co-authoring a book on emotional eating which is first on the list for publication. This book will be the exact opposite of anything Oprah would endorse. It will be a scientific analysis of impulsive eating behaviors and how you can learn to control them to reach your fat loss goals, improve your health and feel great inside a high-performance body. Plus, I’m in charge of the writing part, so you know what that means.
My co-author is Dr. Margaret Yúfera-Lietch, and she’s brilliant.
Margaret has her PhD in psychology from Sussex University in England (where her thesis focused specifically on eating behaviors and the link to obesity) and is a research fellow with the Hudson Institute’s anti-obesity initiative in Washington, DC. She’s also an exercise enthusiast and knows the personal side of resisting ice cream.
Also, Lindy Kennedy is on board as a nutrition advisor. She has an MSc. in health promotion and is a Registered Dietitian. She also has a bunch of fitness certifications and has been a diet and fitness consultant for a really long time, working with hundreds of clients. If you need nutrition services, I highly recommend her.
We are actively soliciting feedback! Check out the draft Introduction to see why this isn’t something Oprah would approve of and share your thoughts with us.
Body for Wife: The Family Guy’s Guide to Getting in Shape
This website used to contain about 100,000 words, or roughly three-quarters of this book as a proof of concept. The concept proved out, I got fans, and one day it will be published.
Make sure you sign up for my mailing list (and get your Free Metabolism Report at the same time) and you’ll be kept up to date about availability of Body for Wife and the book on emotional eating.
If you’d like a sampling of Body for Wife, read the Introduction. It encapsulates my approach to getting in shape.
“But I want to spend money now!”
If this is the case, I’ve got a couple of options for you. One is to hire me as your strategic fitness consultant, and the other is to buy books that make me no money.
For example, you could buy some Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Yes, I am a Chicken Soup author. Can you believe that?
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Runners– This book contains my story “The God of the iPod.” If you don’t want to buy the book, you can still read the story here.
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Thanks Dad – This one contains my story “The Cheslatta River Race,” which I wrote as a sort of Father’s Day present. Read it here.
And now for some books you can purchase with a little more straight-forward information.
Strength Training Anatomy, by Frederic Delavier.
If you lift weights, you should have this book. (Note that he’s got one for women too.)
It is not a program for newbies who’ve never lifted before, but instead gives you exquisitely drawn and detailed images of what muscles are targeted for a wide variety of weightlifting exercises, along with good descriptions of how to execute them. These books are valuable tools in building self-confidence for weightlifting and finding new exercises to try.
Nancy Clark’s Sport Nutrition Guidebook
If you eat, you should have this book.
Written by an internationally-renowned sport nutritionist and Registered Dietician, it may not say anything about weight loss in the title, but it’s an important book for those looking to drop pounds because exercise is a critical component of this, and this book teaches you how to fuel exercise and provides recommendations that lead to a highly nutritious yet calorie-reduced diet that creates the sustainable caloric deficits necessary to achieve weight loss. I think this is one of the best nutrition books ever written.
