This fully up to date and revised second edition, a part of the successful food Counter series, is the essential guide for all dieters.
An estimated 59 million Americans are following a low carbohydrate eating plan. Let the nutrition experts mean you can sort through the carbs that are right for you!
Carbs are blamed for everything from obesity and diabetes to heart disease and acne. Before writing them off completely, you must know that the kinds of carbs you eat, how much you eat, when you eat them, and what you eat them with, makes a huge difference. Nationally known nutritionists Natow and Heslin show you how to use the low carb trend to your advantage. Inside you can find:
How different carbs—fiber, sugar and starch—have an effect on your body differently
How to choose a carbohydrate eating plan that may be right for you
The difference between natural sugars and added sugars, how to recognize them, and why your body needs one and not the other
The Ultimate Carbohydrate Counter is your go-to guide to keeping track of your carb intake when you shop, eat out, or grab a quick snack.
