Our quarterly Eat By Design nutrition workshop is coming up on Thursday August 7th, at 7:30pm, at CrossFit 613 in Kanata.

This time of year is fraught with resolutions that never actualize or worse – the steps that would lead towards them are never taken. Are you tired of looking in the mirror and asking yourself the same questions you have for the past many?

Why can’t I lose 10 pounds? Why am I tired? Why don’t I have any time? These questions and many more fill the minds of most – at least for the next month, after which time they drift away deep into the abyss of our busy lives only to resurrect themselves next January 1st.

Every morning when I was a child, my father would bound up the stairs and at the top he would say (without fail) “YES! Today is going to be a GREAT DAY!” That used to drive me crazy. Now, I get it.

See, my Dad had a reason to believe it would be a great day – he knew it to be true because he had a clearly defined purpose for his day, his week, his month, his year AND his life! In other words, he knew exactly WHY he did what he did.

Following last week’s Eat By Design Seminar several Practice Members have asked me to offer up a list of my favourite nutrition books.

And as I mentioned at the seminar, I too find it frustrating that there are so many diet and health books that continue to come out on a regular basis many of which completely contradict one another all written by seemingly intelligent and experienced “experts” in the field.  Unfortunately, this will always be true no matter what, which is why I thought it would be important for me to post this list to help you cut through all of the hype.

In no particular order, here are 9 of the best books about nutrition and health that have helped to shape Eat By Design in one way or another.
