Calorie countdown

Many times you don't realize the amount of calories you are taking in each day either because you don't know how many calories are in the foods you are eating or because you have the wrong calorie count on the foods you are eating. One simple way to help you count your calories would be to check out the book, "The Diet Detective's Count Down." The author, Charles Platkin has the calorie intake of over 7500 different foods and also has included the amount of time it would take to burn off those calories in a number of different exercises for each different food. After realizing how long it would take you to burn off that Baby Ruth bar (51 minutes of walking!) you might opt for a different snack the next time you are hungry.
