When I went to a different doctor, I told him I wanted to get healthy and lose weight. I had no money, since I was unemployed and my health was so bad I couldn't work, so programs were not an option, unless they were free.
Since weight loss programs are not free, it was determined I'd be doing it all on my own. He orinally put me on 1800 calories a day, then went to 1500 and said if I wanted to speed it up shoot for 1200 a day. Calculating the calories is a problem, but not with the Calorie King!
They have small and large books, I keep the small book in my vehicles, and my parents house, to calculate while away from home. Many of the places you'll eat are in there, so finding a low calorie option is easy. It will fit in your pocket, the information in there is great, very helpful.
The website has even more than the books, it's very easy to navigate, though searches can sometimes lead you to more than one option from the same place, and best of all it's free. I think I only paid $8 for the book at Amazon, simply can't beat it! They do update them each year if you prefer to keep up with the latest info. I'd recommend the book and website to anyone trying to lose weight. I've lost 168 pounds in just over a year, and couldn't have done it without this book!
