God is in everything so although there are excellent non-faith weight loss books out there, I love it when I find high quality faith-based weight loss books and courses.

Here is a list of my top favorite faith-based weight loss books and courses:
Faithful Finish Lines Courses
Faithful Finish Lines is run by Sara Borstede and Becky Lehman. They have both lost over 100 pounds and started Faithful Finish Lines because they wanted to share their personal weight loss success in order to help others. I love how real and authenic these ladies are. They are totally relatable and down to earth, and their courses have helped many succeed. Faithful Finish Lines has a rather large selection of faith-based courses.
These courses include:
The 5-Day Mindful Eating Challenge (woohoo! I love that they have a program that teaches mindful eating)
7 Weeks to Christian Weight Loss, Healthy Eating, and Fitness
Grace Filled Plate Bible Study Courses
These courses are developed by Brandice Lardner. I love her outlook on life and food. Her blog at gracefilledplate.com is an excellent source of information! You can also find information about her faith-based weight loss courses here. Below are a list of her weight loss courses and Bible Studies!
Did I mention, I love these Weight Loss Bible Studies!
Chew the Word: A 30-Day Scripture Study for Food Freedom
Courses: A 7-Course Feast for the Soul.
Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals
Written by a registered dietitian, this ebook is overflowing with professional weight loss knowledge. She also includes the strategies she used in her own personal weight loss journey. This ebook combines mindfulness, faith, and effective weight loss techniques to help busy families through their healthy living journey.
Okay, I am kind of partial to this book because it’s actually my book. You see I am a dietitian who also lost substantial weight so I understand what works both professionally and personally.
Below is a little more about the “Mindfulness in Faith and Freezer Meals” ebook and how this ebook was born:
Although I love to cook, trying to juggle cooking, soccer practice, dance class, volunteer meetings, work, cleaning the house, and all the other “mom duties” was just causing too much stress. We would often find ourselves grabbing take-out, going to a restaurant, going through a drive through, or eating random less healthy stuff for dinner, and yet as a dietitian, I knew needed to figure something out.
So I decided to cook it ALL AT ONCE. Let me tell you, THIS WAS LIFE CHANGING!
My family now has more energy, more family time, less stress, and we have lost weight. My family is eating dinners together, and we now have so much more free time in the afternoon. I am no longer spending my afternoons in the kitchen; instead I am now present with my children. So I do not exaggerate when I say these meals have been LIFE CHANGING.
What is included:
-14 breakfast, 14 lunch, and 16 dinner healthy freezer meal recipes (most recipes last my family 2 meals so, for us, that means these meals last a whole month!)
-The “What is Preventing you from Living Your Healthiest Life” interactive quiz
-The Mindful Eating and Faith Guide
-A Mindful Eating Demo video

“Simply Fresh: Healthy Made Simple” by Kylee Melo, RD
Although this book is not exactly a faith-based weight loss book, the beginning of this book talks about the importance of faith and even mentions what research says about the correlation of faith and health. This is a great book for vegetarians or anyone looking for more delicious healthy plant-based meals.
Made to Crave
This is one of the first faith-based weight loss books I ever read. We actually used this book in a weekly book series at my church. This book is definitely worth the read, and a great companion for any health and fitness journey
Made to Crave: Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not Food
The Nourishing Meal Builder
*Here is another one written by yours truly : ) This one is not focuses on mindful eating and eating nourishing foods, more than on weight; however, several have found weight loss success after reading this book.
Written by a registered dietitian with a masters in human nutrition, The Nourishing Meal Builder helps you create nourishing meals on the spot. With the included meal builder cards, you will be able to easily combine cards to create anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, mood boosting, immune supporting meals that reduce the risk of chronic disease and promote cognitive function, focus, attention, and memory. As a faith-based dietitian, Lacy weaves the importance of faith in health throughout her book.
Faith, Mindfulness, & Nutrition
This is not a weight loss book per say, but does talk about the journey a dietitian (aka me), goes through to go from weight obsessed to feeling healthy and happy in her own body. You can read the description below:
Learn how to live your healthiest, happiest, most meaningful life through faith-based mindfulness and evidence-based nutrition. Faith, Mindfulness, and Nutrition takes you on an inspiring and uplifting journey with dietitian, Lacy Ngo. Thanks to faith-based mindfulness and nutrition, Ngo went from being weight obsessed to feeling healthy and happy in her own body. Ironically, during the process, Ngo ended up, not only losing weight, but also strengthening her walk with God. Now she feels healthier than ever AND she truly enjoys eating! She is able to feed her mind, body, and soul nourishing foods and feel good in her own body without weight obsessing. Get ready to get goose-bumps as you read this amazing true story.
