 Average help November 22, 2009
Dorothy Sue Harris (Enid, OK United States)
While this book is colorful and does give good points, many of the recommended items are not readily available in grocery stores, or are twice the price of the "not that" items.
It does point out that we do need to read the labels more and perhsps as more people pay attention to those labels companies will learn they must do a better job on making foods healthier.
 USELESS FOR LOW CARBING DIETERS & DIABETICS - NO CARB COUNTS!! November 14, 2009
Mamzelle (MID MANHATTAN, NYC)
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
Where is the DIABETIC and LOW CARBOHYDRATE versions of these books for even those who just want to keep their weight down to normal. There are NO `'carb'' counts in this book whatsoever, NOT EVEN ONE!! Please continue to read all of below to understand WHY this is so important to have included, and for EVERYONE....
I was extremely disappointed and downright SHOCKED because I'm a Diabetic able to have been staying OFF of medications for many YEARS, and controlling with low carb foods instead and successfully, and was looking forward to having the CARB counts available in such an information saturated book finally....
I never even dreamed that carb counts would be eliminated at all, much less so completely in ANY nutritional food book, therefore I mistakenly didn't make SURE first that they were included and am SO angry, because otherwise I'm in LOVE with this book and the presentations, and wanted to buy ALL of them, till finding out that it's worthless to we who are carb conscious and concerned about high glucose [which EVERYONE should be], about healthy eating and also about losing or maintaining proper weight, all in addition TO proper glucose levels. It's only Calories, Sugar count [in only some products] and FATS.......
America has gotten OBESE on low fat diets through the decades, which has been ADMITTED by the experts, Doctors, etc. and still they're pushing LOW FAT consciousness instead of Low Carbohydrates and ignoring those completely? With low carbing there is NO raise in cholesterol even WITH fats, which nobody realizes without really investigating this philosophy of eating and I'm living proof of it in all my medical records throughout this past decade.....
I was going to get the Restaurant Guide first but then decided on the Supermarket Guide as a first tester instead, figuring it would cover all products and the most important book of all and it is truly wonderful for those with NO weight or glucose concerns, but how many of us are totally NORMAL. Weight gain AND Diabetes are the two fastest growing disorders even in CHILDREN now. Parents also NEED carb counts FOR their kids to set them on the right track early, to avoid these issues later in life and especially the elderly too as WELL as middle agers ....
I have no disappointments with the book except it is SO incomplete without Carb Counts, and useless for me because that is my number ONE concern, and should be everyone's....... Sugar I never eat anyway and try to stay AWAY from products with sugar in them [which everyone should], but low carbs are JUST as important, in fact even MORESO because all carbs TURN to sugar in the system AFTER ingested and digested....
I also purchased `'Hungry Girl 200" etc., and no carb counts there either. What is this world coming to......they're going backwards after all we've learned about nutrition and the importance of limited carbohydrates in our diets and only eating the good one's, salads, NON-starchy vegetables, etc, which ALSO means lower sugar in the metabolizing process if lowest carbs.....
I'm disgusted that this seems to be the trend now, with these most popular books. That is a gigantic FLAW which renders these books absolutely WORTHLESS to people like us, which is most of us, actally ALL of us in the world, if not Diabetic, then trying not to BECOME Diabetic or overweight, so please be forewarned...
I am going to write to them and request a low carb along with low sugar edition or at least ADDED to the counts in future books. Please HELP, because I'm only one person, and though I don't usually write `letters to companies, the books are THAT good to not overlook this and to see what we NEED added to them.
These books were a great idea, they just FORGOT to include the most important thing. If people ARE nutrition conscious, which is their target, then how COULD they eliminate carb counts, of COURSE nutrition conscious people include LOW CARBS in their eating philosophy and regimens. Carbs, Calories, ,Sugar, Fat, and SODIUM are the 5 MOST important things to list, I don't think salt is there either, but I wasn't focusing on that YET because of being too devastated that the carbs aren't there, so I didn't care about the rest anymore....
This book is aimed at the OLD way of thinking from the 50's and before that all we need to care about is calorie. Sugar and fat content....... It's from the dark ages. They have to totally RE-THINK, and RE-EVALUATE what they're doing or put an isolated book out FOR diabetics and other low carbers, since it's too late to add to THESE already published which are a waste for the truly INFORMED nutrition conscious. SHAME on them. I am heartbroken by this and don't want to see anyone else receive these series of books and go through the same shock.... not from even one of the books, as I did.

top secret agent
These books are great. They offer so much more then just the recommendations. It has 82 pages packed with important shopping info. before you even get to the actual recommendations. Also, a food additive glossary! Very well done.

So many things to consider to live a healthy lifestyle and now I know how the food companies are trying to stop us from knowing what is going on with their labels. Very enlightening!!
