Excerpt from the Book:

“You won’t find silly gimmicks in ChangeOne. We’re not going to make you a vegetarian, a strict carnivore, a caveman, or a goddess. But we’re radically different in one crucial way: ChangeOne asks you to approach dieting one meal at a time, one week at a time. (ChangeOne means just that—ine change at a time.) We won’t overwhelm you on the first day. Most diets ask you to throw out the way you eat overnight and adopt a new plan. You might be Mary today, but tomorrow you’re supposed to become Elle. The bigget problem with that kind of approach is people will eventually go back to their old ways—after all, you are Mary—and gain back the weight they lost.”

Barbara Kraus’s Calories and Carbohydrates.

Revised by Marie Reilly-Pardo.

ISBN 0-451-20773-4

Amazon link

Calories and Carbohydrates is a dictionary listing of more than 8,500 brand names and basic foods with their calorie and carbohydrates counts. Changemaker uses this ook as the reference for calories. We have listed several online references also.

From the introduction:

“The calorie yield of your diet verses the amount of energy you expend is the key to whether you maintain your ideal weight, gain too many pounds or lose weight.”

Pay strict attention to the portion size. You may find it valuable to keep a list of equivalent portions. Under “counters’ we have listed several resources online.

The equivalents used by this book are:

By weight:

1 pound=16 ounces

1 ounce=28.35 grams

3.52 ounces=100 grams

By volume:

1 quart=4 cups

1 cup=8 fluid ounces

1 cup=1/2 pint

1 cup=16 tablespoons

2 tablespoons=1 fluid ounce

1 tablespoon=3 teaspoons

These books are incorporated in our Changemaker Library. All of the books used are the choices of Changemaker without solicitation from any author or publisher. We include the title of the book, the author, the ISBN number, and an Amazon link if you choose to order the books yourself.

The following books are about food:
