Amazon.com Review

This book is a boon for those who are following diets inspired by the Diet Revolution books by Dr. Robert Atkins, The Zone, or Protein Power. It helps to have a complete reference such as this one, which lists thousands of foods, including hundreds of name brands. It's handy both for eating out and for planning meals and grocery shopping. By the way, watch out for that potato flour--Netzer reveals that it has 143 grams of carbos in just one cup.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource!, June 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Corinne T. Netzer Carbohydrate Counter (Ctn Food Counts) (Mass Market Paperback)

After browsing several 'counter' books, I happened across this one, and I was sold. 500 pages of nothing but carb counts--an absolute MUST for anyone on the Atkin's or Zone carb diets. Broken down by brand in almost unbelieveable detail--there's something like 15 entries for refried beans! And are you having pizza at Pizza Hut? Dominos? and is it sausage? pepperoni? Each one laid out in exact detail. I *highly* recommend this book

1.0 out of 5 stars Book lacks sufficient information, November 10, 1999

This review is from: The Corinne T. Netzer Carbohydrate Counter (Ctn Food Counts) (Mass Market Paperback)

Save your money and buy Netzer's Encyclopedia of Food Values: this book appears to be merely an extract from the larger work. You will receive four or five times as much information, although you still won't have dietary fiber information. The problem with Netzer's Carbohydrate Counter is that it neglects to break the carbohydrate gram count into its nutritional carbohydrate and dietary fiber carbohydrate components. That makes this book useless for those people whose nutritional needs require that information. This book simply gives total carbohydrate counts and says "Th-th-th-that's all, folks."

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Be Without It, April 14, 2000

This review is from: The Corinne T. Netzer Carbohydrate Counter (Ctn Food Counts) (Mass Market Paperback)

I just received 3 gift books from my husband - this was one of them - excellent! Every bulk food & product I was wondering about was listed in this book, which I now carry in my brief case for shopping & restaurant eating. I recently discovered, through a wonderful Naturopathic Doctor that I do indeed have Chronic Candidiasis & as such need to keep my carb count to under 50 gms while on the recovery. My blood type (O) also suggests a high protein / low carb food regimen for healthy living & this book tells me everything about the carbs in the food I eat and don't eat. I though I knew food pretty well but after going through this book about 10 times it seems I didn't know my food so well after all - but that is changing rapidly. This is a worthwhile investment for anyone watching carbs!
