WAY Out of Date, 2008-01-15
I guess I didn't realize it was published in 1991. (17 years ago). $10.17 down the tubes. I guess I trusted when I should have researched a little more. My bad for not paying attention.

Check the publishing date before ordering..., 2007-03-08
Let me start by saying this book has been a big help in my diet. However, I did not realize just how old the book was. It does not have many of the latest food obviously. I would have gotten a newer book if I noticed the publishing date.

Too old to be of any use, 2007-01-19
Almost nothing in this book is current enough to be helpful. You are much better off using the online sites of the food manufacturers and restaurants and, if necessary, doing the math to figure out how the carbs, proteins, and fats translate into food exchanges.
Don't waste your money.

Newly revised?, 2003-01-27
If you are on some kind of Healthy plan and are thinking of using this book to help you plan your eating when you are not at home, think again. The last revision of the book was in 1991 and several of the Restarurants and Brands listed no longer exist. Of those that do, watch out. This book includes listings for menu items which no longer exist, or which were changes within the last few years.Unless this book is updated, this is not a good resource.

Good reference book!, 2001-10-02
I found this book to be very helpful in finding the exchanges for various foods. I wish it would have been a bit smaller in actually dimensions (like a paperback book), but other than that it is extremely helpful.
