Summary: Great Book Beyond Just Carb COunts
Comment: Well this book was really a great mistake. What I mean is, I was trying to find a book that was just a list of carb counts. Instead, we received a bok filled with helpful information on carb counting beyond 'the list'. My husband is a type 1 diabetic, and I really watch my carbs, so this book has helped us both a lot. The info on stuff like sugar alcohols, etc. helps a lot because many of the packages are labeled in misleading ways regarding 'net' carbs'. THis book gave us some answers as to which ones I can subtract (for weight control) as opposed to which ones my husband can and cant subtract (that still can affect bood sugar). The eating out guides are grerat, but the way restaurants change menus, the info gets outdated quickly. However, getting into the habit of asking for nutrition info makes it easy to work it all out for yourself.

Summary: Easy way to count carbs!!!!
Comment: We have had several books on this topic but none have been as complete. This one book clearly teaches how to count carbs easily. There are exhaustive lists on foods and their "carb-counts". And there are even charts of many well-known eating establishments and how to count carbs when eating "in" or "taking out".
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Read
Comment: The information in this book is exactly what I was looking for. The author is charming, presenting the material in an entertaining way, but also very concise.
