Customer Reviews

diet resource
An excellent diet resource tool. Well organized and easy to use. This selection comes the closest to having "everything" and with the annual revision/update they surely come quite close to the goal.

A Great Resource when on the go!
This book is small enough to carry in your purse, but still contains a lot of information. It has really helped me make better food choices when dining out. The only thing I wish it listed is the amount of protein. However, for the price and the convenient size, this book is great!

Worthwhile investment
Thoroughly found this book most useful. I would loved to have had it a long time ago. Calorie counting is the most profitable way to lose pounds and this book is very thorough.
