Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This 10-week food and exercise diary is simple to use and very effective. University studies show that persons who use a food diary not only lose more weight, they also keep it off! It is non-dated so can be started anytime. There are separate columns for food calories and exercise calories. At the end of the day columns are totalled and exercise calories can be deducted from food calories. A further column allows for fat grams. Also included are a Weekly Summary Page and room for the counsellor to add comments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful weightloss tool, April 23, 2002

By A Customer

The only way to lose weight is to take in less calories then you burn every day. I knew I needed to do that when I purchased this book and the companion Doctor's Pocket Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter. I decided to give use the diary for the ten weeks it covers and if I didn't lose at least ten pounds I wouldn't bother with it again. When I hit a weight loss of 20 pounds and still had some weeks to go I knew i had found a system that would work for me. And yes I did try all kinds of other diets.

Like other reviewers say it quickly becomes clear to you where those extra calories are coming from. I stopped using the diary and my weight loss stalled. It is so easy to forget you ate a little too much the day before.

How well has it worked? So far I've dropped two jeans sizes. My friends have seen my success and purchased copies for themselves.

I really like that it tracks your exercise each day. And it tracks your water intake. The fat counter helps me see if I am eating a high density or low density food. This little book taught me what was wrong with my diet.

3.0 out of 5 stars Small, compact diary of food eaten and exercise, November 16, 1999

By	Diane R. Schafer (haroldds@netnitco.net) (Crown Point, IN) - See all my reviews

This small book is a great place to record the food and exercise that takes place on a daily basis. It is small enough to fit in a pocket or purse. The only problem is that the pages fall out of the binding. I wound recommend making it spiral and adding more weeks. What a great price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for every serious dieter!, April 13, 2003

By	P. Garrett "honeybee_01938" (Ipswich, MA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have found using Allan's Food and Exercise Diary, along with his fat and calorie counter book, to be incredibly helpful in losing weight and getting in shape. Anyone who is serious about wanting to lose weight, whether it be 5 lbs or 100 lbs, absolutely must keep a food diary. I have tried to lose weight for years unsuccessfully. I recently started keeping this food diary every day, and so far I have lost 10 lbs! It has a very easy-to-use format, and has a section of tips. It allows you to track your progress. It is small enough for me to carry in my purse, so I never miss a beat. It really helps me feel in control while I'm dieting. Along with enough daily exercise, keeping a food diary is absolutely the way to go. I have raved about this book as well as the Fat and Calorie counter to my friends, several of whom want to get it now! I can't emphasize enough how much help it has been in losing weight. I finally feel like I CAN do it! And you can too!!
