Your Body Your PCF®

BY MARIA DEVESON CRABBE

Put away the calorie counter. Following the success of Maria Deveson Crabbe's first book, Your Body Your Life, Hodder Headline Australia has now published a handy pocketbook companion.

Your Body Your PCF includes a comprehensive food directory listing the protein, carbohydrate and fat (PCF) content of a huge selection of grocery items.

For those embarking on a low carb program, Your Body Your PCF will let you know how low you should go. It includes the hugely successful PCF Calculator tool in easy-to-use charts, helping you work out your daily food requirements and adjust for body type.

Author and Aussie Bodies CEO Maria Deveson Crabbe said Your Body Your PCF would give readers the tools to formulate an eating plan and stick to it, no matter what their diet.

"Counting calories is a waste of time if you want to achieve sustained weight loss," Maria said.

"By focusing on the three food groups you need to balance for weight control and improved health, this handy pocketbook will help weight conscious readers overcome the low-calorie mentality. It will also alert many to the hidden sugar content in some of their favourite foods.

"Your Body Your PCF will be a godsend to people who are watching what they eat but don't have the time or means to look up the nutritional content of their favourite foods, or plan a day's eating with the appropriate info at hand.

"The PCF Ratings listed will give you a better gauge than nutritional information panels because it accounts for protein useability. This is important because the amount of protein the body makes use of varies greatly from one food source to the next. For each listing, our nutritionists have used the PDCAAS method of calculation to arrive at a figure for useable protein."

Your Body Your PCF is now available at all major book stores across Australia and New Zealand.
