Eat This, Not That (Revised): The Best (& Worst) Foods in America!
Indulge smarter with the no-diet weight loss solution. The bestselling phenomenon that shows you how to eat healthier with simple food swaps--whether you're dining in or out--is now expanded and completely updated.
Did you know that if you're watching your waistline, a McDonald's Big Mac is better than a Five Guys Cheeseburger? Or that the health promise of the Cheesecake Factory's Grilled Chicken and Avocado Club is dubious? Or that when shopping for condiments, the real winner is Kraft mayo with olive oil instead of Hellman's "Real?"
Reading ingredient labels and scrutinizing descriptions on menus is hard work, but with side-by-side calorie and nutrition comparisons and full-color photos on every page, Eat This, Not That! makes it easy! Diet guru Dave Zinczenko goes aisle-by-aisle through every major American staple--from frozen foods, cereals, and sodas, to the dairy cases, international foods, and the produce aisle--as well as every chain and fast food restaurant in the country to pick the winners and losers. You'll find more than 1,250 slimming and often surprising swaps, a helpful list of the "worst foods in America" by category, plus testimonials from real people who lost weight simply by consulting Zinczenko's easy-to-follow advice.
Now the book that changed the way Americans choose meal ingredients, food brands, and menu options is completely updated--and it'll help satisfy both the appetite and diet goals of even the hungriest reader!

I'm not sure where I even saw this book to add it to my list to read, but I truly enjoyed it. There were quite a few restaurants in there that I wasn't familiar with, but the information about the items was still great. One of the things that will stick out in my mind forever is Five Guys fries are about the worst there is out there. You can eat a large fry or 29 Wendy's nuggets. That's a picture that will stick in my brain for sure! I enjoyed the supermarket section too because it gave me a visual of some of the things I've thought were OK, but there are better options out there. This is one of those books that I think would be a great gift and I could see myself thumbing through it again and again.

Good
Although much of the information I knew, or could have guessed, there were some real surprises here. I look forward to trying some of the recipes.

These books are always fun to read through, I work at the library so I'm always reading them when they come out, I just wish they would add the carbs to their nutrition info. I don't eat out that often, and I don't follow the fat or calorie info in my foods as much as the carb count, but I still enjoy the random facts and drooling over the pictures of all the "not that" foods! All in all they are enjoyable reads with helpful hints, so how could you go wrong?

Interesting book to flip through, but with no real practical advice (for me). Nothing special.

Once again, the Eat This, Not That authors have struck gold. It combines restaurants, grocery items as well as recipes.
