WOMAN nutritionist Angela Dowden says: 'There are so many
faddy diet books around, but what it boils down to is the
amount of calories you actually take into your body compared
with the amount you expend in exercise and activity. This book
gives you all that basic information so you can work out your
daily needs, plus the calorie counts of a vast range of
supermarket foods.'

'Quite simply an astonishing achievement by the authors,
who list the calorific content of over 21,000 different items.
... The scale of research brought to bear on the book - an
updated version of last year's Bible - is little less than
mind-boggling. Food facts abound, making it invaluable not
solely for dieters but for anyone aiming to eat more healthily
in 2007. JB.'

'There's
only one way to lose the lard… and that's to eat less. Nobody
pretends losing the pounds you so enthusiastically piled on in
the first place will be easy. But a good guide to exactly what
you're putting in your mouth is the one thing your average
slimmer cannot do without.
'So, with
two stones down and a fair few still to go, my joy knew no
bounds when this weighty tome landed on my desk.
'Jam-packed
with info on dieting, and full to bursting point with the
calorie, carbohydrate and fat values of thousands of different
foods, including branded ones, it's the perfect weight-loss
tool for those of us needing to keep an eye on our daily
intake.

wince as you read that a meagre ounce of Exotic Nuts &

'As a fitness fanatic and keen sportsman, I constantly
monitor weight, and was quite happy with my eleven stone
frame. That was, until I looked up my body mass index, in "The Calorie, Carb
and Fat Bible".
'Imagine my surprise, when I found I was nearly in the
'Overweight' category!
'I decided to lose half a stone, which would put me well
within the 'normal weight' range.
'The book contains tables, according to age and activity
level, for males and females, of the number of calories
required to maintain weight. In order to lose weight, I have
to consume less than the figure for my age and activity level.
'Three weeks later, with the help of the book, which gives
nutrition values (calories, carbohydrate, protein, fat, fibre
and alcohol) of over 15,000 basic and branded foods, I have
already lost three pounds.
'I may achieve my goal before Christmas, but there could be
a few extra pounds to shed by the New Year!'
