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: Disappointing to conscious consumers
Review: For anyone who really wants to count calories, this book is a disappointment. It is full of advice, some of which is not up-to-date with current research. Additionally, it has so many entries for eating out, fast food, etc. that the serious dieter or stay-at-home cook can hardly find the simple foods and ingredients that they may want calorie counts for. I'd send it back except the postage costs as much as the book.

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: Best Calorie/Fat Book I have found
Review: I have the 2000 version and I still use it all the time. It's small enought to fit into a purse or breifcase! I highly recommend this book if you're looking for a comprehensive calorie and fat gram book. The graphics are clear and easy to read. It also has a few diet and exercise tips, ways to cut sugar, etc.

Summary: Love this book!
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!
