I think I'm more interested in just reading about the psychology and the marketing madness around the food industry and how they're manipulating customers into eating much much more than we ever have before. Sounds to me like what The End of Overeating explores. I'm not going to use it as a diet book though.

I tend to overeat when I'm bored but also when I've been on my bike 25+ torturous miles and I overestimate how many calories I need to refuel.
