Book Description

December 29, 2004
A fast-food diet? It may seem like an oxymoron, but for the millions of Americans living a low-carb lifestyle-many of whom still end up eating on the run at fast-food joints and sitting down with their families at chain restaurants-The Smart-Carb Guide to Eating Out shows how to stick to a low-carb diet when eating on the go.

Rather than simply listing the nutritional content and requiring us to do the math ourselves to figure out what to eat, Tracy Jones, M.S., provides a shortcut by listing which menu items (or combination of menu items) compose a smart-carb meal that is compatible with The Zone, South Beach, or any 40-30-30 diet. The book also provides calorie and carb content so that readers can easily customize meals to meet their own nutritional needs. And with the help of the 7-Day Quick Start Program, readers can quickly implement their favorite fast-food meals-like the Classic Single hamburger and Junior Frosty at Wendy's-to jump-start their weight loss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeping healthy while eating out., January 12, 2005
By 
Miriam Brauner (Woodland Hills, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Smart Carb Guide to Eating Out (Mass Market Paperback)
In this type of society where men as well as women work, there is not enough time to prepare a healthy meal.
Thanks to Tracy Jones I can eat the right food outside the home. I can work and know that I always can go to a fast food or family restaurant and get the right amount of food without worrying about counting my calories or carbs.
Another important benefit of following the menus she describes in this book is the level of energy that you have after eating. I can go back to work and I have such a high level of energy that you might think that I took a nap. I am now alert all the time and I am not hungry for four hours since I feel satisfied with what I ate. Finally, the snacks in between keeps me going the rest of the day.
I also really enjoy the recipies of the salads that I can prepare at home.
Furthermore, my insulin level is going to be controlled because I am eating a balance diet (40-30-30). I will be a healthy person.
This book explains the diet in a very simple and easy way to follow.
Thank you for making one part of my life easier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, easy, easy!, January 12, 2005
By 
Grammie (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Smart Carb Guide to Eating Out (Mass Market Paperback)
I love the way the author explains what's going on in your body as food interacts with processes like producing (or NOT producing) fat! The intro by Dr. Barry Sears ("The Zone") was impressive, and this book is SO great to have when eating at fast food restaurants. Thanks!
