10 Books Filled with Weight Loss Hacks

Back when I was a model, I was a steady 115 pounds. I also had a pretty fast metabolism, a will of iron, and a diet that would make most people feel a little sick to their stomach.

Now that I'm heavier, I want to lose weight again... and I found it wasn't as easy as I remembered it being. Back in the day, I could lose 15 pounds in a heartbeat.

These days, it's almost as if my body actively fights against any form of shedding the pounds. It's awful, but thankfully, there are ways to fight against the "stick to your ribs" nature of weight loss.

You see, others have climbed the proverbial mountain of weight loss and successfully peered over the edge. One quick look at the "before" and "after" photos on Reddit's r/loseit forum is proof positive of this fact.

It is possible to get those pounds gone, and you can even use weight loss hacks to make it easy. These books below take the pain out of dieting, using simple tips and tricks to fool your body into losing weight.

When it comes to finding books filled with weight loss hacks, you really can't get better than David Zinczenko's empire. Eat This, Not That! is a book series that literally kills the concept of a diet by letting you eat whatever you want—as long as you make the right switches.

By highlighting how many calories you can shave off a meal by just switching brands, this book offers you a new way to enjoy your daily meals without having to forgo your favorite meals.

A simple swap using this guidance can turn a 2,000-calorie meal into one that will only clock in at 600. You'll never look at food choices and weight gain the same way again.

This book is a really deep cut that most people will not actually remember, and that's because it's not a well-known dieting book outside the modeling world. This book doesn't feature a diet, but it does feature ultra-low calorie meals, weight loss hacks, and pep talks galore.

Speaking from personal experience, The World's Best-Kept Diet Secrets was a book I heavily leaned on when I was a model. The tips and tricks in here can make a world of difference when it comes to losing the weight and keeping it off.

If you're looking to lose weight, you are probably also looking to build muscle. A little muscle tone is always welcome, right? Of course it is, especially if you are a guy who wants to have the body of Vin Diesel.

Using the methods in this book, you'll lose weight fast and also gain the muscle that helps you keep toned and taut longer. You're going to be the man of the hour with this guide at hand.

The Science of Getting Ripped is a great book for men who want to lose weight, but what about women? Where do they get their equally useful dieting hacks, you ask? You can check out Thinner Leaner Stronger by Michael Matthews for that.

Much like the book above, Thinner Leaner Stronger offers sound diet and exercise advice that's designed to help female bodybuilders get from where they are to where they want to be.

Quick tips and tricks are what make this such an epic book to read, even if you aren't looking for a set weight loss plan. It's amazing what healthy eating can do, isn't it?

Love it or hate it, The Biggest Loser was one of the most popular television shows dealing with massive weight loss. It may not have had the most ethical people behind it, either; but hey, we'd be foolish to say that it doesn't work.
