Very Handy 4 out of 5 stars.
22 of 23 people found this review helpful.

The pocket-sized book is very convenient -- easy to carry around and use. It provides a good guideline for protein grams, but as with most references of this nature, the listings can only be regarded as rough estimates. It does succeed at least in giving us an idea of which foods to gravitate toward if we are seeking high protein meal choices.

Editorial Review:

Two nationally recognized nutrition experts present a portable, easy-to-use guide that lists the protein, fat, carbohydrate, and calorie values for more than 1,800 brand-name and generic foods.

Reading this book has changed the way I view the world and live my life. This book has helped me change my eating habits and motivated me to exercise, and now I have lost fat and am gaining muscle, and I really can feel the difference. This book is different from other nutrition books I have read because it takes into account the best from modern medicine and ancient nutrition form the East. I recommend this book to anyone that is interested in changing their lives and becoming healthier.

Editorial Review:

This book is an explanation of both traditional and modern scientific views of nutrition, food, and health from ancient greek medicine to modern food guide pyramids and medical risk factor analysis.

Editorial Review:

The brain gets fed first! That is an important idea that directly relates to the nutrition/cognition connection in schools. As the education community faces the challenges of childhood obesity, malnutrition of the brain, food allergies, disorders of metal metabolism and biochemical imbalances, educators are eager to learn about how to guide students in the care of their bodies, and especially, in the feeding of the brain. Making "smart" choices for the very hungry brain is the focus of this cutting edge book that provides the busy teacher with vital information on nutrition and behavior. Dr. Marcus develops a rich discussion about three food groups: animal foods, plant foods and junk foods. She explains why breakfast is still the most important meal of the day, provides brain joggers for easy integration into classroom activities, and presents a host of practical strategies for teaching nutrition as part and parcel of a "learning for a lifetime" curriculum.

Editorial Review:

Starch, in its many forms, provides an essential food energy source for the world's human population. It is therefore vital for manufacturers (and ultimately consumers) to have increased understanding of the granule synthesis and its behavior in modern food processing. "Starch: Advances in Structure and Function" documents the latest research and opinion on starch structure and its function as a food material, including structure characterization, processing and ingredient functionality, and control of starch biosynthesis. The multidisciplinary nature of the contents will provide a valuable reference for biologists, chemists, food technologists, geneticists, nutritionists and physicists.

This book is best used as a review of things you already know, for motivational purposes and things like that. It's a goodprice. But DO NOT buy this book if you're expecting any big news or new findings or anything like that - it's basically a couple hundred pages of "eat less, move more."

Editorial Review:

Diet. It's one of the most overused four-letter words in the English language. Why? Because it holds the promise of lost weight and found self-esteem. But most often , the opposite occurs. We can't stick to a diet because it leaves us hungry, and then we abandon the diet in frustration--downing our sorrows in rich, fattening foods. We end up feeling worse about ourselves than ever.

Fat Fighters helps you take off weight--and keep it off-by teaching you safe, effective, feasible ways to stay slim. It shows you how to eat meals, how to snack, and even how to indulge once in a while. You'll also discover:

How to jump start your natural fat-fighting system.
How to lose fat eating foods you love.
Which psychological factors can make or break weight loss.
How to determine your perfect weight.
Why eating more can help you lose weight.
How to eat out and celebrate the holidays without putting on pounds.
And much more!
