NOT AT ALL FOR KINDLE
I'm writing this review as a warning to all Kindle owners. I bought this book thinking it would be great and it might be but I wouldn't know because of the way it's formatted for Kindle. The first part of the book is okay - you can adjust font size and all - through the introduction. But once you reach the actual lists of foods and their calorie/carb count, the print becomes microscopic and nonadjustable. So, basically 70% of the book is useless - and the best parts of the book too.

I really wish that whoever translates these books into Kindle Format would preview them first.

Anyhow, thankfully, Amazon Customer Service is amazing and I was able to return it.

Please do not make the same mistake as I did and purchase this book for Kindle.

This book was not as helpful for diabetics as we had been told. Very often what we need a carb count on is not there and we must go to other sources

Comprehensive and Easy to Use
I don't use this for its fast food section, so I don't know how the quality of that is. However, the bulk of the book is a comprehensive and very easy to use listing of nutritional information for a huge variety of foods. I keep this handy and frequently reference it.

Food Counter Review
The book is full of valuable information. All items are alphabetically arranged, which is good. My only criticism is that it would help to have index tabs down the side of the book, opposite the spine. It's difficult to see where you are in the alphabet when you are browsing for a food type or brand label.

Find Out About The Dangers Associated With Dieting

qweDieting 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.
