The Pink Fairy Book, with active table of contents6 reviews

B&R Samizdat Express, 2008

the most magical book
I was at the library with my father and mother when I first saw this book. I looked at all the colors and decided by pink being my favorite color. I read the whole book in gaps between 2 days and at bedtime. And I was so amazed at the mermaids, princesses, and fairies and all the wonder that a few days later I took out the orange, green, and crimson fairy book just so I could dwell in the land of ...
  
  











  



  
The Grey Fairy Book, with active table of contents7 reviews

B&R Samizdat Express, 2008

Fantastic.
"The Grey Fairy Book" is a marvelous collection of tales from Eastern Europe, Africa, and Islamic countries. Once again we get to visit, the horrible, fantastic world of the fairy tale, complete with amazing drawings. These are the *unknown* tales that Disney ignores, but are beautiful in their own right. This is a must have for any collector or anyone who still needs their fairy tales. ...

Great source for foods that keep bones strong
My mother and grandmother both have osteoporosis. When my doctor told me that family history plays a big role in who gets this disease, I decided to fight it all I could. This book--SUPER CALCIUM COUNTER--is amazing!!! The food lists are excellent and so helpful as I plan my family's weekly menu. The recipes are easy to understand--and trendy--even my kids love them. There is NO NEED to get ...
  
  











  



  
The Diet Detective's Calorie Bargain Bible: More than 1,000 Calorie Bargains in Supermarkets, Kitchens, ...4 reviews
Charles Stuart Platkin

Fireside, 2007

This review is for the Kindle ed.
This is a handy book, and in Kindle format even more so. I carry my Kindle in my bag, so this book, among others is always with me. Since I eat out a lot that is very handy. The Kindle is lighter and thinner the the print edition of the book, so this is one book that becomes more useful because it is on Kindle. It has information of grocery store products and a huge number and variety of ...
  
  











  



  
HealthCheques: Carbohydrate, Fat & Calorie Guide7 reviews
Jane Stephenson, Diane Bader

Appletree Press, Inc., 2004

You Don't Need Another Calorie Book!
I have many books that count calories, fats, and carbs. They are usually too big to lug around or dont have many of our favorate foods listed as we know them, making them a chore to use. This is the only calorie counter you will need, its small and surprisingly has 99.9% of the foods we are eating at your fingertips. Unless u are a Doctor, this book will be fine for your everyday use. I have ...

Lea Ann Holzmeister

American Diabetes Association, 2006

A necessity for anyone wanting to eat healthy and/or lose weight
Having lost over 130 pounds and keeping that weight off for almost 4 years, I thought I had all the useful resources I needed to maintain that weight loss. That was until I opened this book! I follow the exchange program as a means to monitor my food intake. Not only does this book include the exchanges, it also lists the nutrition information for the following: calories, carbohydrates, ...
  
  











  



  
The Diabetes Carbohydrate & Calorie Counter: 3rd Edition2 reviews
Annette B. Natow, Jo-Ann Heslin

Pocket, 2006

The Diabetes Carbohydrate and Calorie Counter
I was told by my doctor that I am pre-diabetic and advised to try to lower my blood sugar by diet alone. All I knew, or thought I knew, was that I should give up sugar. Speaking with a nutritionist taught me that dealing with carbohydrates was the key and I needed help. The Diabetes Carbohydrate & Calorie Counter begins with a discussion of diabetes itself, how to count carbs, plan meals, deal ...

Every carb counter needs this book!
Every day people are finding out they are diabetic. Counting Carbohydrates adds years to your life if you find yourself to be a diabetic.

The Everything Calorie Mini Book: Quick and Easy Calorie Counts for All the Foods You Love to Eat (Everything ...2 reviews
Barbara Ravage

Adams Media Corporation, 2001

The most useful pocket-sized guide I've found
The Internet is my primary source of calorie information these days, but recently I needed to buy a printed guide to take on a trip where I wouldn't have Internet access. I wanted a small book (remember those little booklets they used to sell for a quarter at the supermarket check-out counter?); it didn't need to show calorie counts for packaged foods, as those are almost always on the package; ...
  
  











  



  
Dr. Bruce Lowell's Fat Finder2 reviews
Bruce K. Lowell

Perigee Trade, 1991

Priceless.
I have had this book since 1991....it is well worn and clipped and I refer to it every single day. I do wish Dr. Lowell could update this book with a Carbohydrate count along side the Fat Grams and Calories. It would be so beneficial. I have to refer to two different books to determine Glycemic Index or Carbohydrate counts.
  
  











  



  
Fast Food Facts: The Original Guide for Fitting Fast Food into a Healthy Lifestyle2 reviews
Marion J. Franz

IDC Publishing, 1997

Fast Food Facts
This book is exactly what it says-facts on many fast food places. It gives the nutritional content and diabetic exchanges on every item on the menu. I have ordered this book in bulk to use in diet groups that I lead. Some of the participants said it has changed the way they view fast food, and actually changed their eating choices. I recommend this book to every American who likes fast ...

A Lifesaver!!
I came out of by-pass surgery with absolutely no idea where to begin changing the habits of 68 years and mad at the world for my situation! This book led me step by step and in a very natural and rational way into a healthier lifestyle. What began for me as a determination to have my own way and change nothing, turned around into a reasonable approach to the rest of my (and my husband's) life! ...
  
  











  



  
Carbohydrate Addict's Fat Counter1 review
Rachael F. Heller, Richard F. Heller

Signet, 2000

A real eye-opener
This book sure makes it clear how it all adds up. I find the layout of each fast-food restaurant very helpful. So much for choosing chicken sandwiches at BK over a Whopper!
