| | | buying books
Hey,
I'm about to try and buy some books on carbohydrates. Counting carbs etc.
Anyone know any really good ones.
Ones aimed at uk readers would be best too. 
I posted this in here as the carb thread doesnt get all that many looks...

| | | Complete Guide to Carb Counting by Hope S. Warshaw and Karmen Kulkami is an excellent one.

| | | Hello everyone,
What I would do, is to visit the local diabetes association web site, and see what information of books, be they Carb Counting, or other diabetes-related topics.
These folks seem to read and review the local literature, sometimes offer a bunch of free stuff themselves, and are almost always, an excellent place to start looking for books.
Another thought, we could all list our own best titles, and compile a list. Seems we have enough of us out there, so that a pretty decent list could be developed, and offered up.

| | | There are a lot of PDA based programs out there. The best method for locating the program that best fits you needs, is to use any search program, and use:
" carb+sounting+software"
for the search criteria (without the quotes, of course). There are now a lot of people using low-carb diets to help them loose weight and to fill this need, a lot of programs have been written .
Hope this helps.

| | | I have to say I have used the Calorie King carb counter and it is by far one the best ones I have come across. The software could use a little user interface tweaking but useful.
I would rate the booklet a 9 and the PDA software a 7. |

| | | Another vote for Calorie King. They also publish a nifty version for the Palm Pilot that's easy to search, with facility for creating your own database. |

I also found a book called Dr. Bernsteins diabetes solution. Revised and updated. It really really good! I've learnt so much more reading it than i ever would have done before. And its got tons of cool recipes at the back
:p
