The Doctor's Pocket Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter 2004: Plus 170 Fast-Food Chains & Restaurants

Customer Reviews

The best calorie, fat and carb book out there!

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!

The Best Calorie Guide Published

"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.

Great little book!

I looked around at several calorie/fat/protein/carb books and this one was by far the best! At a price of $6.99 its the best value out there.
