Book Description

June 1, 2000

The secret to lifelong weight control and overall health is not just watching calories. The key is limiting fat. But not all calories are created equal: when it comes to your weight, cholesterol levels, and risk for disease, the fat calories in ice cream are more of a threat than the calories in broccoli.

Now two nationally recognized nutrition experts give you the most important, up-to-date information you need to avoid excess fat and reduce your risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, some types of cancer, high blood pressure, and other health problems.

In this revised counter, which Fitness magazine calls "an excellent investment," Annette B. Natow and Jo-Ann Heslin include:

  • saturated fat counts -- saturated fat is a major risk factor in heart disease and cancer

  • more than 22,000 entries, and more food categories than ever before -- including vegetarian, lowfat, nonfat, and nutritionally enhanced foods

  • more listings for restaurant chains and take-out foods

  • the latest news on fat substitutes.

    3.0 out of 5 stars The book is good, but it could be better in many ways, July 21, 1998
    By A Customer
    This book has many brand names which I found very helpful. However, in the back is a restaurant/fast food section. I'm in California and many of the restaurants/fast food places listed have no locations here so they were irrelevant to me. Also, my favorite, Del Taco, wasn't listed.

    This review is from: The Fat Counter: 5th Revised Edition (Mass Market Paperback)
    This book is very easy to use, and all sorts of foods are listed (including Del Taco in the new edition). It's a great way to keep track of how many calories and how much fat and saturated fat you're eating every day, even if you're not dieting.

    This review is from: The Fat Counter: 5th Revised Edition (Mass Market Paperback)
    If you want to go on a diet counting fat & calories, than this is the book for you. My daughter gave me an old one just like it, and it got pretty beat up, so I ordered a new one and gave the old one to a friend starting a diet. She's forever grateful.
