  • Carbs & Cals Book

    This book 'Is What It Is'. It gives a good pictorial idea of food quantities and associated nutritional data. It was recommended to me by a medical practitioner to help with my wife's diabetic management. Food quantities can always be an issue. What is a sensible portion! This book helps by showing in pictures, various portion sizes, combined with food content percentages and more. The prices of this book vary a lot. Do not pay more than the cover price as they are available for less. Be careful to get the right book as there are some similar but inferior offerings about!

    It’s a good source of information for those with diabetes and other conditions that require a track on carbohydrates and calories. It’s a picture comparison showing the difference portion sizes can make.

  • Need help loosing weight

    This is a book that provides easily accessible data on the content of the food we eat. There are gaps, not every single food is covered but it is a handy companionto most foods. It is aimed at diabetics and those trying to loose a few pounds. There is a quirky section covering take away meals which would be useful for cooker phobics
