Fats: The "Bad Guys" in Your Diet

Fats pack more than twice the calories into every gram than either protein or carbohydrates. Recent studies show that it's the amount of fat you eat that will determine your weight. In addition, a high fat diet increases your risk of heart disease and cancer. The American Heart Association and the National Cancer Institute recommend you get no more than 30 percent of your daily calories from fat. The Quick and Easy Fat Gram & Calorie Counter will show you how.

Count Fat Grams for Healthy Weight Loss

It's easy! Tired of balancing calories, cholesterol, fat, and fiber intake? Just count fat grams and everything else will fall into place. The Quick and Easy Fat Gram & Calorie Counter does all the work for you. It provides fat gram counts for 2,500 basic, brand-name, and fast foods and gives you the calorie count and percentage of calories that come from fat.

The book is alright. It give a good list of fats and carbohydrate calories, but it has a limited appendix, and not enough information. It is a very dry read.

This book is very useful for me. It helped me to keep fit and know the nutrition facts about any food so I won't have a bite on any "fat-foods". I believe I have a healthier life by knowing the calories of any food products so I won't eat more than I need.
