This book will help you when making decisions on what to order should you go out to any popular restaurant. From what to eat and what not to eat. It shows you guidelines on fat content, caloric content and much much more. It makes your decisions easier. I found that what I thought was healthier to pick from was in fact NOT the case at all. For instance, wouldn't you think a chicken wrap sandwich is healthier than a small cheeseburger? Nope! Surprised? You must get this book and read it and perhaps carry a purse big enough to carry it around because you will want to refer to it often. YOu can give advice to others and use it as a way to back up your opinions. It used to be that if someone asked you to go out to eat at a restaurant to dine you would turn them down because you are on a diet and we all know that eating out consists of "refined foods" that add weight to the mid section of our bodies. Well not entirely true. YOu can go to Olive Garden and this book will show you what to order and what to stay away from, Chili's too, In&out too, etc.... Heck it mentions so many eateries you'll be surprised. There is a section on what to eat even at home. What types of foods are best for weight loss so you can eat all day without gaining weight. Its a must have book and I reccomend it highly. You may ask yourself why I chose to rate this book good instead of excellent. WEll the truth is: There is some information that could be in there but isn't so one book can't possibly carry all the needed information so with this book alone you won't get all the information you need but it sure has the basics and then some. I hope this helped. Thank you for reading.Read full review
It's an eye opening book that will make you aware of some of the crap that we eat by breaking down the nutritional content of it so you can see what your putting in your body. Gives examples of healthy and unhealthy choices for the majority of fast food and casual dining restaurants as well as at supermarkets. If your trying to lose weight/diet and watch what you eat this book is an excellent resource. The book was recommended to me by a friend and has certainly made me more aware of the food I eat when I am out or shopping. It is worth the $15 or so.
Very informative, could have had more well known restaurants to give comparisons to. Overall, very interesting. My twenty year old son even checked it out, and was telling his dad about some of the swaps that were given as examples to follow. If it got his attention, then it must be a good book. If we'll take heed to the suggestions, then I'm sure we will notice a difference in the way we feel and look. Notice I said "if". I would recommend this book to others. Thanks so much! I bought the book because I had seen it advertised and thought it would be helpful. I also got a good price on the book. It was in immaculate condition. Thanks again!
Eat This Not That! is a wonderful little book by two authors who have already proven themselves. David Zinczenko (The ABS Diet) and Matt Goulding both work for Men's Health Magazine and know nutrition. The book is small enough to carry EVERYWHERE with you in your glove compartment, purse, backpack, gym bag, or briefcase so you can know what to choose IN the situation. It is worth the money to own more than one if you need to leave one at the office too. The book covers how to make wiser choices in your everyday life. Each page is full of photos of restaurants, as well as what to eat at ballparks, pictures of what to eat for breakfast, what cheese to eat, what Mexican food, what snacks, what to eat at the mall, what kids drinks are better than others, and much more. This book is an answer for people who want to make better choices, but have a hard time sticking to a strict diet. Anyone can easily start losing weight by making some simple, wiser choices to get the weight loss momentum going. If you don't need to lose weight, you can still see what simple healthier choices can do for your overall health, stamina, energy, focus, and attitude. Eat This Not That! is a terrific gift for almost anyone. Even looking through the book very quickly you can have "aha!" moments of how to make better choices immediately for yourself and your family. If you are often in the car running short on time, or running your kids somewhere so you go for fast food every week, this book can make a huge difference in your life. There are tips about feeding children better, about what specific foods help prevent diseases, about specific foods to eat when you work out, when you're stressed, when you need a brain boost, and more. Compared to some of the other diet books, this is the simplest one I've seen for making small changes and improvements immediately. You can implement these changes in ways that you and your family will greatly benefit without feeling deprived.Read full review
I was surprised to see all those numbers of calories from the food and drinks I never thought it would be that high in calories. This book helps me make a better choice what to eat or what to drink and what not. I'm not an overweight person but I love to eat healthy food and maintain my good shape combine with the daily workout. Also I learned some new things I've never known before from this book about "What to eat when.." from Chapter 7, which was really interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone, not only if you want to lose weight, but for your better and healtier life...
