Great weight loss guide

Found this book being used at The Hills Health Ranch in BC Canada. Regula Wittmer, the spa director, suggested I purchase this book. I tell you. it is fantastic. If you want a good calorie counter, this is the book.

great book!

This is a great book for calorie counter...it has pretty much everything that I need to find in there.

Handy dandy pocket book

Part of a balanced weight loss regimin is watching what you eat and making sure you are getting enough fiber and protein. All so often we pick up foods because they are quick and easy and eat them mindlessly. I've been down that road a little too often in the last ten years and am now paying the price. This book is very handy and I keep it in my car for when I'm out shopping or eating out. I use in it conjunction with my food diary and it's very helpful. I'd say to buy the most updated version each year if you can...so many new foods to keep up with.

Useful if you eat out a lot.

If you eat out a lot and you want to get a general idea of which foods carry the most calories, this is a pretty good book. It does not ONLY include details on packaged foods from the grocery. It also includes numbers on foods from restaurants and popular fast food joints. These places DO NOT advertise their nutritional facts often, for example; it's kind of useful to see that a Chick-fil-A milk shake has 800 calories.

It's really ALL about calories!

Returning to basic nutritional facts and balanced diet seems to be the best idea for life in today's fast lane. The Calorie Counter is the best of it's kind that I've seen for a very long time. It has all necessary information for my uses. I cannot be happier!
