A couple of books that might come in handy if you go down the weight management route.
“No More Mr Fat Guy – the nutrition and fitness programme for men”, by Jonathon Savill and Richard Smedley, published by Vermillion London, ISBN 0 09 182595 4
This is a rather blokeish account of how Johnathon got his weight down by 4 stone and what he learnt along the way about how to control body weight. I found the human story woven around what he was trying say, and that it came out of the knowledge and detail of personal experience, for me made this more accessible than conventional weight loss guides.
“Waist Disposal – the ultimate fat loss manual for men”, by Dr John Briffa, published by Hay House, ISBN 978-1-84850-115-7
This handy book takes a medically based approach marshalling the current research about food nutrition, health and weight loss into practical guidance for the man who needs to get better control of his bodyweight.
