Some of mine:

An easy to follow explanation of why excessive cardio and calorie restriction can lead to weight loss plateaus, and rebounds when we stop dieting, and what to do about it:

More explanations of why calories in/calories out doesn't address the physical issues (insulin spikes, metabolism slow downs, etc.): Why We Get Fat (Gary Taubes)

Related, but with more specifics on do this/don't do that and basically how to hack our bodies into responding to food the way we want: 4 Hour Body (Tim Ferris)

And finally, a blog post: http://www.fitness-nutrition-weightloss.com/is-your-cardio-a-waste-of-time.html

What else would people here recommend?
