The Doctor's Pocket Calorie, Fat & Carb Counter by Allan Borushek

For this weight loss program you need a pocket sized calorie counter. This little book by Allan Borushek is geared to the American market and lists the many items in your supermarket and in common takeaway foods. This is the best calorie counting book I have come across. It is easy to use and has additional healthy diet tips and information.

Allan Borushek is a dietition and biochemist with over 25 years experience in dietetics. He produces new editions of his book for America and Australia every year.

There is no current British edition so people in Britain should look for the equivalent kind of book tailored for the British market.

The Australian edition is generally available in good book stores.

Tanita BF679 Duo Scales Plus Body Fat Monitor

You need a set of reliable digital scales, preferably with the ability to assess body fat percentage. These Tanita scales can be programed for two people's height, age and sex. They allow fast simple operation for tracking weight and body fat percentage.

The body fat percentage is calculated by sending a safe low-level electrical signal up through your feet. This then calculates body fat for the person with the selected stored height, weight and sex information. These scales also have provision for a visitor for weight only calculation.

If you want to calculate body fat for more that 2 people, choose one of the other models that are also listed on the Amazon.com site. Use this link to also see a wider range of body fat scales.

The New Glucose Revolution: Life Plan by Jennie Brand-Miller and Kaye Foster-Powell

This is a fantastic recipe book with simple, tasty and easy-to-make recipes all with the calories per serve listed.

Forty-seven recipes focusing on ingredients with a low gylcemic index which break down slower during digestion causing more gradual glucose release, reducing fluctuations in blood sugar and resulting in more prolonged sense of "fullness".

Definitely worth adding to your library to make dieting more enjoyable and healthy.
