Author Description

This guide is designed for all those watching their weight, containing A-Z tables showing the calorific and carbohydrate content of commonly available foods and drinks. An introduction describes the body's essential nutrients and goes on to outline the basics of weight loss through two of the most popular solutions - the calorie-counted diet and the low carbohydrate method. Advice on these diets is followed by tables which give the figures for average portions of many different foods and drinks as well as 1oz (30g) weights.
