Customer Reviews

easy easy!

This book allows me to look at specific foods and brands. It shows most all of the nutritional information. If you want to know which potato chips have less sodium check this out. It also has information for fast food restaurant menus (which is awesome) you can look up which hamburger has less calories. a great deal!

pretty good

It has a lot of foods listed, but I felt like they left some details out. Under carbohydrates, they don't list how much comes from sugar, they don't break down how much saturated fat, etc. Not a bad book though. When you consider that mos foods already have a label, this book is handy for fruits and vegetables and other things that tend to come without one.

The greatest book I've read

Wow! It's amazing what this book tells you about the foods one eats. I really love this book.

The Book "RNY" Patients Have Been Waiting For

It's been almost Eight years ago that I had surgery because of my morbid obesity. Now, I was searching for a handbook to help me learn the nutritional values of foods. I was limited to a strict regiment of healthy foods and I wanted to choose the very best I could. That's when I found Lynn Sonberg's book. What a huge help to me!!! No where before had I found all the information I needed in one little book. A book so small I could drop it into my purse and have it with me whenever I needed. Only the informative introduction reads like a book, the rest is like reading a chart. Easy to find what I'm looking for and complete in every facet of nutrition! I found my weight loss bible! I hope all weight loss surgery candidates find this book and win their battle! This book made my battle easier because I finally understood what I was eating!
