Eat This Not That! by David Zinczenko, Matt Goulding (2007)

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.

This book gives you a lot of great info, but the only thing it's missing is the breakdown of the entire menu for all of the places in the book. It chooses 4 or 5 things to eat or not eat when you have 20 or more different things to choose from. You do learn a lot of good information and I would suggest buying this if you care about what you eat.

I bought the Eat this not that book, a week ago and was immediately surprised by its content. Who would have thought the stuff we are eating was this bad, even things like grilled chicken may be a bad choice at some of these places. It is a good start in educating ourselves on the excess calories that we eat when eating out. The next step is to expand this book to include the rest of the menus from these places; as many of these restaurants aren't going to help us out in watching our diets as they do not want us to know a lot of this stuff.

It is an o.k. book if you eat a lot of fast food or don't try to shop for more healthy items .I bought it out of curiouosity .

I purchased this book but did not receive it. I ordered it because I felt I wanted to eat more healthy and this is exactly what this book is designed to do. I will now have to purchase it from Barnes & Noble.

Thi sbooki was very insightful, I especially like the fact that it tells you the actual facts not just what you think is good for you. LIke you would think a chicken salad at Chic Fil A is best when actually the grilled chicken sandwish is the best, and things like that. Good buy!!!

This book has all the answers. We keep this book on us at all times. Just using this book alone we have lost about 15 pounds in two months. No Joke! The real deal Holyfield!

Offers great choices for leading a healthier lifestyle! Very simple and smart tips! Great book! I decided to buy this to see what kind of tips they offered for eating better. :)

This book is fantastic. It has all of the up to date foos item that are in stores today. It shows what is good and what is bad in a clear format. It is kind of a eating healthy for dummies type of format. Everything is laid out and it is very informative with extra facts sprinkled through out the book. It is a really good read for those who struggle with traditional diets.

This is a great book. I carry it in my purse at all times. This is an alternative to dieting. It helps you determine what you should eat at many fast food restaurants. It includes many restaurants in alphabetical order. It also helps you decifer the hidden meanings on menus.

I bought this book because after researching the reviews online, it sounded like a handy little guide to choosing foods when you are trying to watch what you eat. For me, I love this book! I travel on the road a lot and find it very handy for the fast food places. To be honest, I was quite stunned at which foods were better than others; seemed I had always picked the wrong ones! But now, if I have to eat on the road, at least I can make the best choice available. Left to my own devices, I really had no idea of the high fat, salt, calories, etc of the food I was choosing. At least now I have a simple reference. Thanks!

This book is handy to have, it helps you eat out and stay on your diet. It tells what is good to eat and what not to eat at each place. It helps you make better choices, you would be surprised what you thought was healthy is not!

This is a lot of good information about something we have to do everyday-eat
This books shows you with facts what we eat and what it contains and gives you alternatives in the same restaurant without being judgemental or trying to convert one to another way of eating. You are still in charge and you still make the decision now you can make those decisions and know what you are doing.
If you want to indulge they show you what the consequences will be and an indulgent alternative. This is a very well put together book. I would like to see them do a follow-up with more restaurants and more alternatives.

I bought this book for my son who is away in College and needs to lose some weight. Just gave him the book about two weeks ago. He saids he has lost some weight and that this book has helped him. Can't wait to see if it actually helps him loose the weight. All of the recommended food keeps him full so less temptation for snacks.
Awesome book. Bought another one for myself need to shed some pounds myself.LOL!!!!

This book is easy to read organized well and has information that relates to all of us. This will help me make smarter choice at the store as well as when I go out to eat. Even my parents are getting a lot out of it. I highly recommend!

I like everything about it I need it thats why I bought i and thanks for your good service, and I will order more if I need it again

Excellent visual reference with tons of supporting information about making healthy, flavorful food choices at many popular restaurants. The authors include groceries as well and offer options of similar choices.

This book is an excellent guide for those who are interested in eating healthy or losing weight.

Sometimes when you think you are eating healthy you really arent! This is a great book to help you out when you go out.

Its like being on a diet without actually BEING ON a diet. You can still go to McDonalds, Starbucks, or Dunkin Doughnuts and feel guilt free. This book is really a great guide, and I would recommend it to anyone!

This book is very informative. It might surprise you how bad some foods are for you and how some aren't as bad as you would think. It also shows you some healthier choices at restaurants.

My husband had heard about this book and suggested it as a birthday present for his health conscious father. We did buy it and sent it to his father. He loved it. It is full of interesting food information. My mother in law liked it a lot too. She says it's amazing to see what is in the food we are eating. I would recommend this book to anyone wanted it for nutrition information or for entertainment.

The book is a real eye-opener. A lot of sandwiches and dishes that you get at restaurants are much higher in fat, carbs and calories than you realize. Many items are deceiving because of the sauce and large amounts of mayo on things. The book identifies specific items at specific restaurants and compares them in very easy to use manner. Great book.

I heard about the book and thought it would be beneficial to everyday eating habits. It is a good coffee table book. You can pick it up, browse and learn some very interesting facts every time you look at it. I have shared many of those facts with friends and co-workers. Eat the donut, not the muffin!
Most people today live in the fast food world. If we can chose a healthier food item over one that's more abundant in fat and sodium, that can only be the better choice.

GREAT JUST WHAT I WANTED... wAS DELIVERED VERY QUICK. AND WAS IN GREAT CONDITION. NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS. BOOK AND THE PROSESS

GREAT BOOK-WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WHO IS TRYING TO WATCH WHAT THEY EAT AND STILL WANTS TO EAT OUT! THIS HELPS YOU TO STILL BE ABLE TO GO TO YOUR FAVORITE PLACES AND MAKE BETTER CHOICES! GREAT BUY!

My son had the book and it was interesting as it listed all of the most frequented restaurants when traveling or dining with friends.
Very comprehensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
