This book helped to feel more comfortable about eating knowing what activity is required to burn off the food. It is not designed to find a short cut to losing weight, but it does show you how to eat sensible and know how much of a certain activity will be needed to burn off calories. This is a good way to get in your mind that it is okay to eat certain things, just be prepared to work it off. By telling you which activities will burn how many calories, it helps to plan workouts to be more effective. Some common food items were missing, but all in all it was helpful.
 MY calorie count book review!
This book had so many different types of food and places to eat food. The book was easy to use and fun!
 An excellent idea
If you've ever wondered how far you're going to have to walk or run to use up the calories in the doughnut you just ate, this is the book for you. It is made up mostly of tables of the calorie content of various foods, and how far you would have to run, walk, etc, to use up the calories. The first 18 pages give an excellent introduction to what is needed to lose weight. Your BMR is defined and discussed in considerable detail and a formula is given showing you how to calculate it. The author suggests that you keep a food diary and review it every so often; he also makes several suggestions for increasing your physical activity. As a fitness trainer and nutrition columnist, he is well-qualified to write such a book. The only slight problem with it is that it is not clear until near the end of the book that the numbers are based on a 155 pound person, and are different for people of different weight.

The Diet Detective's Count Down
My friend was looking for this book so I found it and ordered it. I was skeptical at first but now I am glad I ordered it because I can look up a food and see if I really want to eat it or something else by how much walking (my choice of exercise) I have to do to work off the calories. It really comes in handy when I get a craving for the bad stuff like ice cream or mcdonald....
