Hey Leigh, I was wondering what book u think I should get.
I am 26, I am doing Lyle's UD 2.0 I went from 128 to 123 this is my third week but I want some long term approach to my diet when I finish this diet. Before UD 2.0 I was doing interval training cardio classes 6 days a week and ended up gaining weight instead of loosing it before the intense aerobic classes I was really stable at 120 lbs. I've always watched what I eat and have been exercising since I was 16 years old.
I will eventually get Guide to Flexible dieting and maybe John Berardi's books but I read really good things about you and I want to know which one you suggest?
Denisse
Leigh's great, Denisse, and her books really explain the process and how everything works. I believe that you buy both books together now, though I'm not sure. I know that when she relaunches the site in a few weeks that you can only buy them bundled together. If you buy them now, though, you'll get all of the updates when the relaunch happens.
There's a quiz that you can take to determine if you need Metabolic Repair. That one is really intended for people who have a history of undereating or overtraining (or a mix) or some other metabolic issues. Most people can do just fine with Fat Loss Troubleshoot. Here's her site: Fat Loss Troubleshoot. And her blog post about what's coming: Back...and better than ever - Fat Loss Troubleshooter-Leigh Peele

Well currently you can't buy either one and you wont ever be able to buy them separate again (that was my mistake to do that).
Still, what you listed is a bit vague. It could be that intervals just didn't provide enough burn vs your normal cardio activity, this happened to a lot of people that switch over to the interval bandwagon. They felt twice as tired with half of the caloric burn.
Still it looks like you are having success with UD2 so not 100% sure what you question is. So shoot me more info/detail.
Thanks for the quick response, to all.
I am looking for a long term approach to dieting, as I said I am experimenting a bit with UD 2.0 but I'll just wait until u relaunch the site for the books...
you are going from 123 to 120 - do you really need a long term approach to dieting (by which I mean weight loss/fat loss/deficit) per se --- or a long term approach to diet - that is, normal eating, maintenance calories and developing a normal relationship with food?
What I mean is that I need plan, because I am mexican so my genes don't help and I do tend to overeat sometimes. So yes, I am the kind of person that needs to a long term approach. Lyle Mcdonald's diet is hard and I don't think I can do it forever, but he also has other books that you can apply to every diet or program you follow. So my question really was what book to buy? I would like more information on Leigh's books too.
My whole family is fat.
I used to think it was genetic.
Then I realized it was all about lifestyle.
So, if you tend to overeat, and potentially undermove for the eating, then it's good you're looking to fix that.
You may want to look at something like Precision Nutrition. It's easily adapted to a maintenance lifestyle, dealing with just simple rules and not so much calorie counting. It is expensive-ish, (depending on your definition of such).
If not, at least you may want to look into his cookbook… Gourmet Nutrition. That is a hella lot of tasty and healthy food.
I think FLTS is a good read, but it doesn't necessarily seem like you need those particular plans. The information is good, though. So, I think you'd benefit from the text.

IMO, if your goal is maintenance, Lyle's Guide to Flexible Dieting would be the best one to get. A large segment of it deals with how to figure out maintenance and what macros and food types to eat. Leigh's stuff is great but is mostly about fat loss. It's definitely worth getting, though, if/when you decide to do another round of fat loss.
