From the author of the bestselling Living the Low Carb Life (more than 100,000 copies sold) comes an indispensable reference to help dieters maintain their controlled-carbohydrate lifestyle-both in the kitchen and on the go.

To stay on a low-carb regimen, dieters-and others just tying to eat healthily-need facts: what's a good side dish to have with that fish? Is it okay to order that delicious-sounding special at the restaurant? Certified nutrition specialist and bestselling author Jonny Bowden provides the information, in a handy, portable pocket guide to making smart carb-conscious food choices. It contains the net carb, calorie, protein, fat, and fiber counts for more than 2,000 foods, as well as nutritional data for the new low-carb products on the market. Plus, there's valuable information on sugar alcohols, essential Omega fats, the glycemic index and blood sugar levels, and Bowden's own expert individual food recommendations.
