Eat All Your Favorite Foods—And Watch the Pounds Disappear!
Two years after the runaway success of the original Eat This, Not That!, co-authors Matt and Dave noticed an interesting trend: Restaurants were actually cleaning up their menus! With consumers avoiding the country’s worst calorie offenses, some restaurants saw fit to remove them from the menu entirely. Consider this:
· After Chili’s Awesome Blossom took the runner-up spot on the “Worst Foods in America” list, Chili’s removed the appetizer from their menu entirely. · Pepperidge Farm followed suit after being placed on the Worst Foods list and discontinued their Roasted Chicken Pot Pie. · When Jamba Juice earned a citation on the Worst Drinks in America list, the chain stopped serving the largest size of their Chocolate Moo’d smoothie and recommitted itself to becoming one of the healthiest restaurant chains in the nation.
The problem is, as the old crop of calorie atrocities were eliminated, a new army of gut-bombs emerged in their place. That’s why the authors created Eat This, Not That! 2010, to empower you with the knowledge to battle a food industry bent on sabotage your waistline with unwanted and unnecessary calories. In this new-and-expanded edition, you’ll find fresh restaurant and supermarket comparisons, an encyclopedia of food packaging lies, and the invaluable guide to eating healthy on a budget. Essentially you’ll learn how to make effortless food swaps that will help you strip away 10, 20, 30 pounds or more.
Did you know: · Choosing Prime Rib over Baby Back Ribs at Outback will save you more than 2,000 calories? · You can save nearly 500 calories and more than 20 grams of fat just by ordering your banana split at Dairy Queen instead of Baskin-Robbins? · A Stouffer’s White Meat Chicken Pot Pie has as much saturated fat as 6 scoops of ice cream? (Choose our alternative and save more than 900 calories!)
The best!October 23, 2009 Alexis Harrison 55 out of 74 found this review helpful
I was looking for something that could help me watch what I ate. I was amazed at the girth of material contained herein. And the accompanying photos really add to the whole process. The book is easy to read and, if you are looking to save calories--and maybe a little money, too--it's a nobrainer. What I liked was that it was the latest edition and that meant it was most up to date. I'm also going to look into the restaurant guide, too, as that is coming out soon. I think this author really has his finger on the pulse of American eating. This is one not to be missed. Another good one, Goodbye, Fatty! Hello, Skinny! How I Lost Weight And Still Ate The Foods I Loved-Without Dieting.

When I first began to read the ETNT books, I was a little skeptical, feeling that some of the choice selections were included for their shock value only. I also wasn't sure about the verity of all of the claims. However, I purchased this book for my niece who has been asking me for guidelines for eating healthy. I was caught by the title: The No-Diet Weight Loss Solution. I firmly believe in this method, and am careful to read labels and order healthier options when eating out. I thought that if I liked the approach of this book it would be a big help to my niece. Well, I liked it so much that although I have had it for a month I still haven't sent it to her! (I told her about it and she is happy to wait while I savor the contents.)
It is organized into 7 informative chapters: The Truth about Your Food; Foods That Cure; At Your Favorite Restaurants; At the Supermarket; Holidays and Special Occasions; For Kids; and On a Budget. The Index allows you to quickly find topics of most interest to you.
The most helpful parts of the book for me (and ultimately, my niece) are The Truth about Your Food, Foods That Cure, and On a Budget chapters. Included in this info is the ETNT Encyclopedia which discusses food industry labeling, and misleading advertising by restaurants and packaged goods manufacturers. Foods That Cure is a well researched, well concise guide to healthy eating, including Cutting Your Carbohydrate Footprint, and 10 Foods for a Longer, Healthier Life. This is the info my niece had requested, and this is a concise and thorough list.
My niece will find Chapter 6: For Kids, very helpful, including nutrition advice and a rundown of how popular restaurants fare in providing the best nutrition for your child.
But, absolutely the best part for me - and the reason my niece doesn't have the book yet - is the section that provides recipes for 10 dishes that cut calories and save cash (in the On a Budget chapter). You'll love the suggestions, and maybe, you, like me, will just decide to buy another book for your loved one so that you can both benefit from this awesome little book!

Great to know this information even if you are not on a diet and just like to be aware of what you are putting in your body.

Simple, no nonsence guide to help you make intelligent choices in what you eat. It's not a book to just be read, but to be constantly referred to; I keep my copy in my backpack, and consult it often. But let me warn you; some of the revelations are going to shock you. For instance; did you know that at Cold Stone creamery, EVERY drink one of their regular line of shakes contains a MINIMUM of 1,000 calories, 92 Grams of Sugar, and 1.5 grams of trans fat? And that's just for their Small Shake! Did you know that pre-made guacamole can contain as little as 2% of Avacado? That Turkey Bacon isn't any better for you than Pork Bacon? Neither did I! But these facts, as well as thousands of others, are all readily available in ETNT.
