Doctor Recommended, But Designed for the Health Conscious
COSTA MESA, CA – August 31, 2005:- Best selling author, dietitian and founder
of the CalorieKing® brand, Allan Borushek, announced today that The Doctor's
Pocket Calorie, Fat & Carb Counter, a perennial best selling book, would
change its name in the new edition to be published in November. The pocket-
size book, updated and published annually since 1988, is a National Top 100
Best Seller and the most recommended book of its type by doctors and
dietitians.
"While many doctors make the book available to their patients, it was designed
for the consumer and the family. We're changing the title to make it more
inviting to the health conscience individual. We want people to know that the
book is designed for them and their family. From here forward, our book will
be The CalorieKing® Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter," announced Allan
Borushek.
The CalorieKing® Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter new edition will list
more than 11,000 foods, including nutritional data for over 200 fast-food
chains, in its 302 color pages. Since its U.S. introduction in 1988, the book
has sold more than 10,000,000 copies.
"This is likely the most often recommended book of calorie information by
dietitians, diabetes educators and physicians," said Keith McGuinness,
president and CEO of Costa Mesa based CalorieKing Wellness Solutions. "The
book bears the image of Allan Borushek, dietitian and biochemist, as
the 'Calorie King'. In my opinion, he's earned the title."
For more than 30 years, Allan Borushek steadfastly focused on collecting and
presenting accurate nutrition information in a handy pocket and purse friendly
book that became the most recognized and respected calorie counting
resource.
