This volume is produced by the authors begind the "LifePoints" series. A trend popular in the USA, fat counting is an easy and effective way of losing weight. It has proved to be consistently more effective than calorie counting, producing as it does lasting weight loss, and has an addition impact on health areas such as coronary heart disease. This fat-counter book aims to clearly inform readers about all the foods they eat. It gives fat values for more than 3000 foods, including brand-names and uniquely British foods, and aims to educate people about the true fat content of foods rather than simply "locking in" dieters to a particular system.
