The Diet Detective's Count Down
Offers Readers Calories, Carbs, Fat and the Exercise
Equivalents For
More For Than 7,500 Foods(Walk, Run, Swim, Bike, Yoga, and
Dance). Ever
find yourself debating whether or not to buy just one bag of
chips? Or
grab a little candy bar for the road? Consider this: what if the
nutritional labels on your favorite foods spelled out
exactly what
you'd have to do to burn those calories? Well,
nutrition and public health advocate, Charles Stuart
Platkin's new book, THE DIET DETECTIVE'S COUNT DOWN,
is the first of its kind that translates food into exercise,
giving
readers a tool for deciding what a calorie means and which
calories are
worth it. THE DIET DETECTIVE'S COUNT
DOWN lists
more that 7,500 foods with exercise equivalents in minutes
calculated
using six forms of activity: WALKING, RUNNING, BIKING,
SWIMMING, YOGA,
AND DANCING. All this information is listed in an easy to
view table
format. The table also includes calories, fat and
carbohydrates. This
is no ordinary diet book, it is a food fact bible giving
readers tasty
nuggets of information that make them think before they eat.
Translating food into calorie counts isn't enough -- translating
calorie counts into exercises makes clear the consequence
each bite has
on the waistline! Examples of an Exercise
Equivalent
(The book contains more than 7500 listings in an easy to use
table
format w/ Calories, Carbs and Fat, walking, running, biking,
swimming,
yoga and dance): |
