Customers Reviews  2008-08-25 FANTASTIC! My husband was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and our nurse encouraged us to get this book to help with understanding what were acceptable "choices". WOW! This book is terrific, it includes information on carbs (our eating method as of a 1 month ago) and has all sorts of restaurant information as well as common and not so common foods... Anyway, I recommend this book for anyone... It's reasonably priced, so I'd get one to put in your cars and in your office and home so you can always have one handy. |  2008-08-19 excellent resource Great book to help you keep track of those calories. I live in Sacramento and recently joined Mama Bootcamp Body by Code and her program requires that we keep track of calories. Being the complete idiot that I am when it comes to calories, I quickly bought this book and it has helped a lot. There are a lot of items listed which is very helpful for people like myself who know nothing about calories :) I'm losing fat and feeling great thanks to Mama Bootcamp and my wonderful Calorie counting book. I love it!!!! Highly recommend! |  2008-08-03 Info at your fingertips This book gives all the info you need in a convenient carry size. Very easy to use. |  2008-08-02 Very, very helpful I was just recently diagnosed as a borderline diabetic and I am trying to control it by food. This book is extremely helpful. I take it everywhere I go. My food BIBLE!!! |  2008-07-29 Very helpful I needed something small to carry in my purse, and a friend had this. Very easy to use, and I'd recommend it to any friends who needed help counting calories. The price was right, also. |

Find Out About The Dangers Associated With Dieting Dieting should have sensible basis otherwise it may do nothing but undermine and ruin your health. There are some dangers associated with dieting.
Danger 1 - on my own
The habit always to rely upon oneself is not the appropriate tactics in dieting. Fattiness like any other diseases should be treated under the strict doctor’s control. Every one is unique and needs certain and specific approach. Someone may be stout but have a good health someone may have few “extra kilos” which will intermix with serious diseases. So you should be completely aware of your current state. Work, life style, surroundings, living conditions and even climate should be taken in account when choosing a diet.
Danger 2 - on the buckwheat
There are several dieting myths: you should eat meat, you should eat once or twice a day, it’s useful to eat only buckwheat or apple pines for example. Each product is wholesome for sure but only in the combination with other useful products. And if you decided to keep to a “one-side” diet you merely deprive yourself of necessary and vital elements.
The greatest problems may cause incredible protein decrease, especially animal protein which can not be substituted by soy or legumes protein. Animal protein is the base for ferments and hormones production. In case you reduce protein consumption the reproductive function gets worse and the blood formula changes.
Another danger is the lack of calcium which we usually get of the diary products. This element is absolutely necessary especially for the young organism which bones are still in the process of formation.
The variety of food is the main point of the right diet. Remember you may eat everything but with the sense of measure. Fish, vegetables and fruits are irreplaceable products and should “find place” in your diet however.
Danger 3 – only diet
If you really want to loose weight and not to regain it you’d better thing about dieting and physical loading as separate things but work out the plan of healthy life style. It may include the food we eat, the way we spend our free time, sleep and whatever. The main tendency today is square meals and minimum of physical exercise. The quantity of energy we receive should not exceed the quantity we consume.
The simplest recommendations are to eat divisionally – every 3 or 4 hours in little quantities, not to eat before going to bed.
Danger 4- food is my best friend
The other stumbling block is to compensate stress depression by eating sweets and chocolates. Some times in such situations a person may eat even when he is not hungry.
Remember everything is in your own hands. |
