Kindle Users, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS BOOK! I feel really bad for wasting six dollars on this. There are a few pages of text and the rest of the book is just page after page of food charts listing the sugar and carb info on all different types of food. You can get this information for free on any food label! To make matters worse, the text on the charts is so small and so light in color that it is virtually impossible to read. I tried enlarging the font size with my kindle, but only the first few pages of text that were written by Jorge were enlarged, it doesn't work on the food charts. Very disappointing! And there is no way to communicate with Jorge Cruise via his website or facebook page. I'm guessing he doesn't want to hear any complaints....UPDATE: AS OF OCTOBER 2011, THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED...SEE MY NEW REVIEW BELOW!

I love the Body Fat Cure method of eating. It is perfect for me and I have lost many many pounds. I purchased the Body Fat Cure Sugar and Carb Counter book for my Kindle. IT IS WORTHLESS!!! The charts are so small and since they are pictures and not text, changing the font size does nothing to the charts. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!

I have a blog following this plan and I have made sure to tell people NOT to buy this book as a Kindle version.

Have lost and easily kept of 20 lbs with the BFC. This book is great because it can fit into my purse and I can look things up when I am out and about. Thanks Jorge!! How about an iphone app too??

My wife and I have been using Cruise's "Belly Fat Cure" book. This little book will be more helpful to me. I can check a food for its sugar/carbohydrate value without as much guesswork. I have already discovered many things I thought were pretty compliant with the diet are much higher in sugar than I thought. That might explain why my weight loss has been much slower and has hit plateaus. The book is small enough that I can take it with me, maybe even in a large pocket. And, all of the essential information related to the plan is in this small book. (The big book has some menus for various food substitutions. This book does not, but it does have two "Belly Fat Good" menus for getting started.) If you would like to try Cruise's "Belly Fat Cure," but feel you cannot afford the larger book, this book should do just fine.

The author has taken a stand against sugar which may surely have its merits, especially is the obvious advice to avoid sugary desserts and such. But for anyone, like me, who enjoys fruit, this program is not for you, since eating more than a few grapes or strawberries a day puts you over his limit. More subtly, his free pass on wine includes recommendation of a popular California white which contains significant residual sugar; Cruise does not say, as he should, that 'dry' wine means one in which all the sugar has been fermented out, such as almost all French or Italian table wines.

Many of the reviews for this book are actually reviews of the original diet book, to which this book is a supplement. The Sugar and Carb counter is difficult to use. Cruise's categories are weird groupings and there are items I still can't find in this book. The nutritional info for fast food is very limited and favors the West Coast. Most of the fast food section is monopolized by Starbucks info. How about info from fast food places that serve FOOD?

I would prefer a more comprehensive guide which is easier to use. I would not buy this again.

This book is a handy supplement to the actual diet, which is easy to do/ live with and everyone in the family likes the food plan, not just me, the dieter! It's so nice to have information and a plan anyone can do and have it all in one book. Bought one for me and a son and others in the family went out and got their own! So get the diet book to go with this one.

This diet isn't for everyone. Maybe its because I've always watched my carbs and avoided sugar, but I gained a pound after 2 weeks on this, even though I doubled my exercise regimen. I am diabetic and my fasting glucose numbers went UP 30 points!! All I've really done is add fat, calories and more carbs than I usually eat. Maybe it works if you have never dieted but this has been a disaster for me. Processed sugar is something I've always avoided, but eliminating vegetables that have natural sugar in order to keep to the 15 gram rule, is very unhealthy.

this carb and sugar counter is so helpful to look up what foods are good for you to eat and which ones are bad. It is really a great companion to the belly fat cure by Jorge Cruise.

The best explanation on weight loss and a must read for every american out there! I am into bodybuilding and nutrition for years, and Jorge's books are the most easily understandable, and doable lifetstyle for anyone who wants to stay healthy, strong, disease free, and diabetes free for the rest of their lives!...and the best part is you'll slim down in the process!!
