Summary: This is what I have to say about things....
Review:
This book is absolutely the best all around calorie counter on the market. Not only does it give you calorie counts, but it also doubles as a fat and carbohydrate counter as well. Thorough, complete, and well laid out, I give it five stars easy. Also compatible with this book is "The No-Beach, No-Zone, No-Nonsense Weight Loss Plan, A Pocket Guide To What Works."

Summary: The Best Calorie Guide Published
Review: "You definitely should have a good book of caloric values. Although there are little calorie booklets at the grocery checkout counter, I urge you just once to spend a small amount for a complete guide that will help you in many ways. I recommend for you the book Irecently bought, The Doctor's Pocket Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter, by Allan Borushek....You'll find it easy to look up the caloric content of every food you eat--which is exactly what you need to do to succeed.... Perhaps its best feature, which puts it ahead of most books in this field, is its very complete listing of fast food chains and restaurants--101 of them! Would you have guessed that there were that many?"
This endorsement comes from TOUGH TALK ABOUT FAT! HOW TO REACH AND MAINTAIN YOUR IDEAL WEIGHT, a new book by William B. Parsons Jr., which is the only book anyone needs for a slim-trim future. It says, "Don't go on a diet!" Instead, take charge of your life and stay in charge. It doesn't scold a reader for being fat; it tells him to GET TOUGH with that excess fat and get rid of it--all of it. Then it tells WHY (heart attacks, diabetes, and wearing out your weight-bearing joints). It tells HOW (reduce your current intake of calories by 500-700 calories a day, thus losing 4-6 pounds every month--or more, if you can reduce your intake more. "It works like your bank balance."
TOUGH TALK ABOUT FAT! recommended Allan Borushek's book so highly that I bought it and was even more impressed by its completeness, ease of looking up food items, and its compact (pocket or purse) size. The reader who needs to lose weight will find his/her life changed by these two books, selling for a total of less than $20! I highly recommend this combination.

Summary: Most Up-to-Date Nutrition Counts
Review: Each year I look forward to getting the new updated edition of this book. It has calorie, fat & carb counts for the newest supermarket products and fast-food menus, along with listings for every food imaginable. I even found counts for deep-fried Twinkies in my 2005 copy! I'm amazed so much information can be packed into a 4"x6" book I can tuck in my purse. Makes it handy to stay on track with weight management.

Summary: The best calorie, fat and carb book out there!
Review: I have been using calorie counting books for years and this is by far the best and most comprehensive I have ever seen. It includes 170 fast-food chains, many of which you would never find in other calorie books. It also has a very useful index in the back, so you can find items very quickly and the book is small enough to fit easily in a purse. Very highly recommended!

Summary: Really is the best
Review: I just started trying to lose weight and eat healthy two weeks ago, and I've already lost 12 pounds. I borrowed this book from my grandmother, who also lost a lot of weight, and I use it every day. The book helps you control your portions so your'e not over eating. And I love the charts, because they allow you to set your own weight loss goals. If you want to continue to eat your favorite foods, and still lose weight.....buy this book!

Summary: Small enough to keep handy!
Review: I love this book! I keep this in the car tucked between the seat and the console, so it's always handy when I'm starving and need to make a good choice at a fast food restaurant! For such a small book, it has a great list of most of the fast food places and items in my area. It's also easy to find each fast food place in the book.

Summary: A must have
Review: Last year I was diagnosed as a diabetic. While not an extreme case I still needed to start watching my carbs and weight. The problem is while watching your carbs and fat is easy at home, it's extremely difficult to do so while traveling. My wife and I went on a long trip last summer driving across a good chunk of the US. We were afraid my new diatary needs might spoil the trip a bit. I mean who wants to spend the whole time on vacation worrying about what you're going to eat all the time? This book allowed me to be able to stay within my carb and fat limits even when eating at places like McDonalds, Burger King or your average roadside diner.The book has a ton of practical applications for someone trying to watch their calories, fat or carbs. One last thing. Do not let the word "pocket" make you shy away from this book. Yeah, it can fit in your pocket but I looked through a number of full sized nutritional guides before finding this one and none of the $30 books has as much information and especially practical information as this book. By the way. I lost 30 pounds and I'm in the best shape of my life!

Summary: Best of its kind
Review: This book is definitely the best of its kind on the market. It's colorful, up-to-date, and easy to use, and I love the fact it is pocket-sized - I take it everywhere with me. It's so much easier to use and nicer to look at than other food-count books. Whoever came up with the idea of including restaurants was onto something - I always take it with me when I eat out and check the calories of menu items before I order. I first bought one in 2001 (it's updated every year) when I decided to eat more healthily. It's a great resource - I lost 30 lbs, and I've kept it off.
