Summary: Very disappointing
Comment: This book is a big disappointment. The cover brags that the book contains "15,000 entries - more listings than any other guide!" What the cover doesn't tell you is that for hundreds of these listings, the counts of sugar and fiber are listed as "data not available." I'm not talking about exotic foods here; there are missing entries for basics like apples and bananas. I am surprised and disappointed that the authors and the publisher would market such a sloppy and incomplete book. With so much missing information, even for many basic foods, I have found this book to be nearly useless and quite frustrating. I plan to return this book for a refund. Save your money on this one.

Summary: A Must-Have Companion For Dr. Atkins Dieters
Comment: After thumbing through this book at the bookstore, I've decided it's a must-have and will purchase it from Amazon.com. The book will enable any person to be aware of and to track their carb, fiber and sugar consumption anytime and anywhere. It's the most comprehensive food counter currently on the market for Dr. Atkins dieters.

Summary: A pathetic disappointment
Comment: This book does not cover basic whole foods adequately. I would think most people looking for such a book are interested in eating healthier and not looking for junk and processed food.
There are no listing for common grains like wheat, oats &, rye. There are many processed wheat products listed as well as obscure things. I could find quinoa, beaver, bear, & whale; but, no wheat.
The listing for beans contained only processed junk like canned baked beans, dips, refried stuff, etc. By looking up individual beans I could find some. Unfortunately, I found them to be of minimal use. There was either no listing for dried beans or if there was a listing it often did not have a fiber count. Initially I thought they were listing cooked dried beans to have no fiber. But, after comparing other entries I realized they were merely omitted.
There are a lot of processed foods in the book along with useless entries like whale. The thing I found really offensive is the fact that they list no less than 15 entries for water. I'm sorry, I think anyone purchasing such a book is intelligent enough to know that water from 15 sources is going to contain the same amount of calories, carbohydrates, fiber, & sugar ZERO!
It seems to me that a majority of this book was collected from package labels. Well, I can go online to one of the online shop at home services and collect package labels of products I'm interested in too. From what I understand they are not reliable as to amounts of fiber in products. I was expecting to get a comprehensive and realistic listing or real foods in this book and was sadly disappointed.
