Don’t just take our
word for it.

“All information in the book was an eye opener. I am very keen on healthy eating and this book has been such a great resource. I have shared this with my family. I am grateful I came across this book when I visited my GP. Thank you!”

Aba

“Great for those who love ethnic foods. This is a fantastic book for people who not only have diabetes, but are keen to look after themselves. The book has detailed pictures so you know exactly what the food is. I particularly like how it details how much carbs, cals and fat there is in each food.”

Annie

“Best carb, fat and protein counting book for all! Excellent not just for diabetics but for everyone wanting to meet health goals, and to sustain them. Also excellent for all healthcare professionals for a basic understanding of food / carbs.”
