The Realistic Bookshelf

Now that I have my own office, I have my own bookcase for all of my diet/food/fitness related books. I'm movin on up!

I have books that I hated, books that were great, books from school, books for fun, books for cooking, books for dieting, and everything in between. I like to keep all of them for referencing, even the ones I didn't like or don't agree with....because someone else is bound to read them and ask me about the such and such diet.

I pride myself on my knowledge of diet trends and diet books. I started reading them when I was probably 10 years old, and have continued to do so. So, if you have questions about a book Oprah mentioned, or something you saw at the bookstore, ask me! I can break it down for you, tell you the pros and cons, and maybe even loan you my copy, if it's worthy of being lent out.

While I have read many many many more and while I have more packed away some where in the depths of my basement, here are the ones I currently have on my professional bookshelf:
