But no Iv given it a real god read and used it to plan my meals. What hit me first was it so well laid out and very clear, next was some thing I have been trying to get my Brian to understand is counting the value of food? two years later, I buy Carbs & Cals, go on line and do a few searches just to look a few things up that I was not shire off well did not understand really. Then like A bolt of lightning it all fell into place and Im using the book for every meal and Iv been told so many time to cut down my portions, and I did but looking at thing book seeing foods by portion on a plat made me see just how large a meal I was eating. I now look at every photo and see how much food is on the plat and what portion that is. Iv cut down my portions, I see the numbers add up to what I need to eat day to day, what I need? Not the amount I think I need to eat or want to eat because I like the look and like it and want to eat loads. Its that old saying I will believe it when I'v seen it, thats this books greatness seeing the truth of how much you over eat, that you dont need to do. It slowly will let you plain you new eating habits, you set how much you want to loose a week, you pick the foods you need to make your plain work for you. You still need to want to loose weight. I know this is not the best review, But this really is a great book. And if your diabetic like me and need help to keep your numbers down or up need to see and know how much your eating is affecting you then get this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/66719237-carbs-and-cals-count-your-carbs-and-calories-with-over](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/66719237-carbs-and-cals-count-your-carbs-and-calories-with-over) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
