Does someone know of any serious "weight loss" books that are _rigorously evidence based_, without layman explanations, bad/outdated research, and bovine manure like confusing correlation with causation or relying on small, unrandomized population studies to confirm the author's preconceived notions for how things should be? I mean real, hard ass summary of today's best, most rigorous studies + some recommendations.

"better than steroids" by Dr Warren Wiley. Although it might be more focused for athletes than what you are after. And yes, the title is sensationalized, in the first few pages the author admits it.

I am an "athlete". Not a competitive one, but I do lift pretty heavy. Thanks for the recommendation.

its actually aimed at lifting. athlete was probably the wrong word. What i meant was, its for people who need to lose weight and build muscle to meet weight classes / physique competitions etc. Its not for people who need a diet but don't want to exercise. Lifting is perfect.

There's a good (old) talk where Stanford's Christopher Gardner researched different diet books with 311 women.

The study was announced at

Not sure but these might fit your requirements:

The CSIRO is an Australian government funded research organisation that has a very good reputation.
The initial book has been followed up by a number of others that expand on the recipes and complementary exercises.

I don't know of any books, but my favorite online resource is examine.com. They do an excellent job of presenting real research in an understandable but cited way.

I'm more interested in sustained weight loss over the rest of person's life. Best I can tell, that is predicated on reducing insulin resistance while not restricting calories too much. People don't stick with reduced calorie diets, and human body can (and does) reduce its metabolic rate to compensate for reduced calorie intake, thus defeating it.
