Product Description Did you know that choosing one fast-food milk shake over another can save you 2,000 calories? That's right. The difference is an entire day's worth of calories. Make a swap like that once a week and you'll save nearly 30 pounds in one year. And that's just the beginning.
Eat This Not That! The Best (& Worst!) Foods in America! is the culmination of years of dedicated food-industry coverage. It’s also the most comprehensive list of the country’s most dangerous food items – the burgers, salads, pizzas, and beers that can single handedly sabotage an otherwise healthy diet. Do you know which popular restaurant is selling a cocktail with nearly 900 calories? How about the cafe that sells a doughnut with more sugar than two candy bars? Read this book and you’ll discover the food industry’s biggest secrets, and you’ll never approach a restaurant menu the same way again.
Within the pages of this book you’ll find chapters dedicated to America’s best and worst breakfasts, burgers, pizzas, and supermarket foods, as well as best and worst foods for fighting sickness, battling high blood pressure and cholesterol, and keeping blood sugar in check. But as with the other installments of Eat This, Not That!, you’ll also find a cache of life-changing guides, helping you to:
Understand the additives in the foods you eat. (Just what is MSG, and how dangerous is it, really?)
Identify the “healthy” foods that are secretly packing your body with excess calories, fat, sugar, and sodium (At one restaurant, you’re better off eating the ribs than the turkey burger!)
Navigate the mall’s food court. (Save 55 grams of fat by eating an Auntie Anne’s pretzel!)
Score big in the drive-thru (Cut a thousand calories from your Hardee’s Thickburger!)
A must, must have!July 25, 2009 L. Koch 51 out of 57 found this review helpful
This is a seriously good guide for anyone who wants to know when and where to cut some calories. What I liked most about it was the fact that it shows you exactly which foods to choose; it doesn't just flippantly mention some obsecure thing and forget to tell you how to make the best choices. Also, for the price, this is a great investment. Don't you want to know what would be the better choice whenever you eat fast food and, let's be honest, we all eat fast food occassionaly--sometimes there's no way to avoid it, such as when you travel. But with this, you are armed and ready to make much better choices concering your diet. It is a must, must have! I'd also say that Goodbye, Fatty! Hello, Skinny! How I Lost Weight And Still Ate The Foods I Loved-Without Dieting is another good one that's also helped me in this area.
Superior Presentation of Essential Information!February 24, 2010 J. Arena(Williamsburg, VA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Eat This Not That! (The No-Diet Weight Loss Solution) is highly informative for everyone, but life-changing for many! I've been reading health books for many years. Without a doubt, this book is up at the top of the list because of the accessability and quality of the information.
For those of us living in the real world, presented with real choices in a life on-the-go, the authors have zoomed in on the real issues we face every day. Yes, we will sometimes eat a candy bar, no matter how we intellectually understand that it's bad. However, there is bad, and there is much, much worse. The finest example of this is the Twix 2-ounce package, that delivers not just candy, but enough fat to rival ELEVEN SLICES OF BACON. Now, that is the kind of information that could prevent a heart attack!
Make no mistake -- the book is helping us choose between (as per this example) from an array of snack foods. It's not about Twix bars vs. a head of steamed cabbage. Also, when the food industry labels some items in a way that suggests the product is "healthy," it is sometimes anything BUT. I consider myself to have an awareness of what's good and bad, and this book has given me reason to take even more time to stop and read those "healthy" labels.
This book will also help you select the best in restaurants, fast-food, beer, salads, pizza, drinks and more. There's also information on the best foods to fight high blood-pressure, high cholesterol and blood-sugar issues. The issues addressed are extensive!
My greatest satisfaction was in giving this book as a gift to a friend, who commented, "I had no idea that I was picking out all the wrong stuff."
Mission accomplished! This book is worth every penny!

This book is a great publication. The quality of the book and pages are superior, and it's very different from the other "EAT THIS NOT THAT" books. I purchased several of the others and I'm glad I did. They are not repetitious. I recommend purchasing it.

Salads are the worst at some of the fast food chains,and the Burgar King Whooper is over 1400 calories.
This book names the best and worst Restaurants,and the best foods to order when you eat there.I can't get enough of this book,even though some reviewers are saying if you bought the first one,don't bother with the rest of the collection.
Lot of Helpful InfoAugust 20, 2009 K. Johnson(US/Asia) 12 out of 17 found this review helpful
"Eat This and Not That" is a guide to eating healthier and reducing caloric intake for those who eat out and eat primarily at fast food restaurants in our "drive-thru society." One possible solution to additionally add is: do *not* eat at fast food restaurants. With these words of wisdom, the problem is solved.
However....with our brief lunch break and long commutes in our age of being in hurry and having to do more with less time, many of us eat fast fast food out of convenience. We honestly may not want to eat this stuff, but we do. In "Eat this not that" there is ample breakdown of caloric amounts. Buy having this information you can literally save thousands of calories a day. A lot of the caloric, sodium, sugar, and fat gram information is included and quite surprising. The focus is on fast food and supermarket junk food, but this is a health book, and it's focus is counting calories. Hydrogenated oils, and fructose corn syrups are also included and very important for people to be aware of.
Many fast food choices that seem to be "healthier" or have less calories are often far worse than we think. Fast food has high caloric density, meaning a small item can have massive amounts of calories, fat, and sodium. Sodium is the hidden killer in fast food and restaurant foods. When we eat meals containing dangerous levels of sodium we cannot even taste it and tell it's loaded with salt. This book suggests swapping the worst choices for better choices.
Some readers wanted content on Protein and minerals in these fast foods. Folks, if you feel you need to know this info - don't eat fast food. The macros of Protein/Carb/Fat ratios are negligible. Don't stand on a pair of empty train tracks in the country-side on the lookout for low flying airplanes.
Small sweet tooth snack foods in the supermarket, and a seemingly healthier option in a restaurant can add thousands of calories to you in only a single day.
My personal favorite in my fast food days was the Sausage McMuffin with Egg at the early morning drive-thru on the way to work. That little tasty treat has 450 calories, 50% of my daily fat intake, 87% of my daily cholesterol limit, and 39% of my daily sodium limit. And this is in, just one.
In this book the chapters are categorized very well: Snack food, frozen foods, salads, sushi, additives, drive-thru, pizzas, sandwhiches, alcoholic beverages, and chapters focusing on blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar, among others. The "Foods For Kids" chapter is really important for those with kids.
"Eat this not that" by David Zinczenko packs a lot of info that you can access in seconds. It's not a "health" or "diet" book, but it is an informative book on how you can be healthier.
