Great . . .if you could read it!,

This review is from: The Complete Nutrition Counter (Paperback)
I guess all the information you need is in there somewhere, but unless you're looking for lots of fast food restaurant fare, you're out of luck. It is very difficult to read the food categories at the top of the page, because the print is so small and it is printed with a black background. The book is printed on the same type of paper that paperback novels are printed on, almost like a newsprint. I had great difficulty reading the type. Not exactly the author's fault, but still a downside for me. I didn't find the book to be very useful for the types of food I eat, which do not include fast food restaurants. I was very dissapointed. In summary, I guess all the information you need is there, it's just difficult finding it. I would not buy this book again.

4.0 out of 5 stars
pretty good,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Nutrition Counter (Paperback)
It has a lot of foods listed, but I felt like they left some details out. Under carbohydrates, they don't list how much comes from sugar, they don't break down how much saturated fat, etc. Not a bad book though. When you consider that mos foods already have a label, this book is handy for fruits and vegetables and other things that tend to come without one.

The Book "RNY" Patients Have Been Waiting For,
By Susan Luppens (Virginia Beach, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Nutrition Counter (Paperback)
It's been almost Eight years ago that I had surgery because of my morbid obesity. Now, I was searching for a handbook to help me learn the nutritional values of foods. I was limited to a strict regiment of healthy foods and I wanted to choose the very best I could. That's when I found Lynn Sonberg's book. What a huge help to me!!! No where before had I found all the information I needed in one little book. A book so small I could drop it into my purse and have it with me whenever I needed. Only the informative introduction reads like a book, the rest is like reading a chart. Easy to find what I'm looking for and complete in every facet of nutrition! I found my weight loss bible! I hope all weight loss surgery candidates find this book and win their battle! This book made my battle easier because I finally understood what I was eating!
