5.0 out of 5 stars IT'S CALLED BIBLE FOR A VERY GOOD REASON!, 21 Oct 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Calorie, Carb and Fat Bible (Paperback)
This is the only book you will need if you need to know nutritional values - whatever diet or lifestyle plan you are on.
I am on 'low - carb' and have not yet found a food that is not in this book (including supermarket ready meals!)
The best thing is everything is listed alphabetically so it very quick to use.
BUY IT, BUY IT, BUY IT!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Eating habits, 15 Jul 2004
By Mrs. K. E. Hope (Warwickshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I originally purchased this book 12 months ago because I found I was putting on weight too easily since retiring - something to do with being idle! Once I had studied it carefully and decided how much I wanted to lose, I found myself methodically weighing EVERYTHING I ate. I even cut it so fine as to weigh the things that went on my plate, then weighed what was left on the plate at the end of the meal (if anything) just so that I got accurate quantities. This upset the dog somewhat as he had never seen anything go back to the kitchen still on a plate!! Not only did I lose the excess poundage I had gained, but I found that my eating habits drastically changed. It came as a bit of a shock to find out just how many calories I was consuming without even thinking about it and using this book enabled me to re-structure my diet. You don't have to give up the things you like as long as you count the calorific content and keep the other figures (protein, carbs and fat) in a nice balance. By the time I had used the book for two months, I found I was actually eating MORE than before, but had managed to lose weight. Even though my weight loss was not great (half a stone) I still use the book to ensure I don't put it back on. Twelve months down the line, I now know that I can go away on holiday, have a good time and not have to take loose clothes with me 'just in case'. Careful planning using what I have learned from this book takes care of this problem. It is a real education in itself and I would be lost without it. I have tried diets in the past, but this is the only method which has proved successful. The weighing of the foods can be a little time consuming and tedious, but it is well worth the effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I've found for losing weight, 14 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Calorie, Carb and Fat Bible 2002 (Paperback)
I bought this book nearly three weeks ago and it really has changed my life! That might sound a bit corny but I've struggled to lose weight for years, now I know why. First off the book tells you how many calories you should be eating in a day for your weight/height etc, and how many to eat to lose weight. It then tells you to write everything down every day and add up all the calories, by looking up the food in the book. You immediately know if you have eaten too many calories, and what you actually do, if you want to lose weight, is eat less calories than your daily allowance. It's working for me, and is really making me think about what I eat. The best thing about it is there's no restriction on what you eat, and no things that you can't have - its up to you to eat a combination of food in a day to make the right number of calories.
