Product Description
Eat what you want, when you want--and watch the pounds disappear! Americans spend more than $400 billion a year eating out, and behind each burger, turkey sandwich, and ice cream sundae is a simple decision that could help you control your weight—and your life. The problem is, restaurant chains and food producers aren't interested in helping you make healthy choices. In fact, they invest $30 billion a year on advertising, much of it aimed at confusing eaters and disguising the fat and calorie counts of their products. All of that has changed with EAT THIS, NOT THAT!. This book puts the entire food industry under the spotlight, and arms you with the savvy tricks and insider information it takes to eat well no matter where you are. With EAT THIS, NOT THAT! you're the expert in every eating situation, from the frozen food aisle to your favorite fast food joint to your local sports bar. You control your food universe—and lose the pounds you want--because, unlike every other customer, you'll know the smart choices to make—instantly! EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is jam-packed with secrets the restaurant industry doesn't want you to know. For example: • Burger King doesn't want you to know that a BK Big Fish Sandwich and fries have a whopping 1000 calories—nearly half your daily caloric intake! (Fish is usually healthy, but not this kind. Find out why with this book.) • Pizza Hut doesn't want you to know that a standard pizza in Italy contains 500 to 800 calories, but the same meal at Pizza Hut can top 2,100 calories! (You'd need to ride a stationary bike for more than three hours to burn off this mistake. Instead, eat all the pizza you want by making smart choices. EAT THIS, NOT THAT! shows you how.) • Macaroni Grill doesn't want you to know that a single serving of their Grilled Teriyaki Salmon has more than three times your daily allowance of sodium! (Cut your risk of high blood pressure by making smart choices at the same restaurant. You'll find them inside.) If only you knew the industry secrets, you could eat at any of your favorite restaurants—or chow down on everything from the company vending machine to your kids’ Halloween buckets—and know that every decision you made was smart, healthy, and the best possible choice for you. For example, did you know: • At McDonald’s, an Egg McMuffin is actually a healthy choice, with just 300 calories. (The Hotcakes pack more than double that amount!) • At Krispy Kreme, all you need to do is order the Very Berry Chiller instead of the Mocha Dream Chiller, and you'll save 500 calories! (Do that once a week and you'll drop more than 7 pounds this year—without trying!) • At Chipotle, you can cut 570 calories out of your Chicken Burrito just by ordering it as a bowl (without the tortilla) and asking them to hold the rice. (Same great taste, but with 94 fewer carb grams!) • Choosing a cinnamon roll at Au Bon Pain over Cinnabon will save you 463 calories and 20 grams of fat! • In the freezer section of your local supermarket, a turkey pot pie from Swanson’s has 610 fewer calories than a turkey pot pie from Pepperidge Farms. • In the produce aisle, you'll get twice the vitamin C—and nine times as much vitamin A—simply by picking red bell peppers over green ones. (Who said eating healthy was difficult?) And that’s why EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is going to change everything. It’s time to level the playing field. We're all tired of sneaky calories adding to our waistlines, and having to starve ourselves or spend hours on the treadmill trying to burn off the damage. Now—for the first time—you're in charge. With this simple illustrated guide to thousands of foods--along with the nutrition secrets that lead to fast and permanent weight loss--you'll make the smartest choice every time!

Everything I have looked up on restaurants websites says that the calorie counts are incorrect. Major disappointment!!!!!
 Guide to Eating Badly May 12, 2008
Mallory A. Souza (San Francisco, CA USA)
The only thing this book is helpful for is if you want a guide to help you make the least "bad" choice when eating out at fast food. In the back and beginning of the book there are very general food suggestions for when eating at home. All in all though, I would say this is NOT something anyone should follow as diet plan, it passes off fast food as if it can be a healthy choice and that is not the case.
 What a WONDERFUL BOOK! May 12, 2008
Rose Petal
This book is amazing! I have lost 100 lbs and let me tell you, had I know what I know now from reading this book, it would have been a lot easier!!!!! A lot of these items I was eating thinking I was doing the best I could, but I was completely wrong. I'm still trying to lose 20 lbs to get to my perfect weight and with my new found knowledge from this book, it will now be no problem! Wow, I'm simply amazed that eating one type of lime Chicken from Applebee's as opposed to another saves over 40 fat grams and 1000 calories! Happily in shock in Indiana =)
Dumbest book I've ever read May 12, 2008
Rob Belics (St. Charles, MO USA)

This book seems to consider only fat and calories as a determination on whether you should eat one food over the other. This gives rather awkward recommendations to still tell you to eat a Krispy Kreme doughnut over some other doughnut. Or one ice cream or candy over another. Yet, in both cases, neither is good for the dieting consumer.
How is this book helpful when there is only one recommendation in a restaurant? How would I know that the sandwich being recommended is insignificantly different than another?
This book could become quickly outdated as restaurants change their offerings or ingredients. I would venture to say some restaurants have already made this book out of date.
Does anyone want to make the effort to take this book around with them and nitpick over this, possibly forcing one to eat the same thing every time they visit each restaurant?
The book is just a glamour, glitzy puff piece with little value. If any of this is that important to you, just pick up the nutrition guide at the restaurant. Smaller, more convenient and updated regularly, for free.
You Eat What You See... Cure for the SEEFOOD Diet ! May 12, 2008
Mario C. (San Antonio, TX)
I have been one to admit being on the SEEFOOD Diet. I eat all that I SEE! :) This is my 2nd copy, the first I saw at the "overpriced" trendy book storet. Once I opened it, I could not put it down. I am now down 30 lbs and still loosing! I feel much better, I am off 2 of my 3 daily RX's. Like they say.. a picture is worth a thousand words, this is the "War and Peace" of Diet books.
As simple as the Title, "Eat this, Not That!" thats basically what this book shows you. Simple changes in what you choose to eat, and the FULL COLOR pictures, it made a diffence. Plus like advertisers have used for years to get us to buy food that is BAD for us, this book uses the same principle to get us to make food choices that are better for us.
I highly recomend this book, believe me once you pick it up, you won't put it down, and hopefully like this book claims, and I can attest, you can drop 10,20, or 30 or more pounds.. and finally Keep it off!!
