My wife, being a newly diagnosed diabetic, loved this book. It gives excellent details of the total carbs for ALL types of food, from grocery store to restaurant. She has found it very simple to use this book in her guide of her total carb diet and watching her choices. It is very simplistic to use, a must have!

This book would rate a good solid four except for one BIG flaw. It has no index which makes it VERY annoying to find anything in it. Otherwise it covers a lot of ground and has calorie, carb, fat, sat. fat, sodium, and exchange listings for all the foods. Very nice. But had I known there was no index I would not have bought it. It's already collecting dust :-(

Excellent book for carbohydrate counting. Very helpful for diabetics using an insulin pump. Gives units of measuremnets for carbohydrates and fat. Covers most foods, including food at fast food restaurants. This book was designed for easy use.

Lots of good information. Cumbersome and hard to read due to the fact that it is landscaped and you have to turn the book to the side to read it.

Good information about most conventional food.

I find it a bit difficult to find some items because they don't quite fit into the pigeonhole categories.

Great information for fast food items!

I bought this from Amazon without realizing it was old--the third edition was already out and for sale on Amazon, too, but I missed that. Do not buy the second edition!! As soon as my shipment arrived I ordered the third edition and suppose I'll be sending this one back--as hassle. Wish they had made this more obvious!

I was recommended this book by a dietician...it basically helps you make informed choices when planning what to cook, when you're out shopping at the grocery store, and especially when you're eating out. It is amazing how many calories some of our meals contain and if we only took the time to really scrutinise the food we consume, I think it can make a lot of difference to our health. I keep this as a guide when I prepare meals at home, and it has also taught me how to read labels on packaged foods etc...won't it be great if all restaurants did the same when we eat out?

i think that this book is a great idea for young children who are learning how to count carbohydrates and learning how to take care of themselves as best they can!!!

Wonderful book packed full of info - very helpful for pumpers

Since being an adolecent using a pump, I find this book to be GREAT!! I carry it with my in one of enormours cargo pockets on my kakihs. An "on-the-spur" trip to Micky D's isn't a problem anymore!!
