Good Reference
This is a well-researched, eye-opening report with plenty of information about bad and good foods that are served at well known restaurants.
The book consists of eight chapters, each chapter being focused on a separate issue such as: 1. Foods recommended for every day, and foods to always avoid; 2. The best and worst restaurant meals; 3. Strategies for eating right when dining out; 4. Advice for holiday eating; 5. Strategies for grocery shopping; 6. The ultimate guide to healthy beverages; 7. What to eat in various situations (stress, tiredness, etc.); 8. Eating guide for children
Each chapter provides tons of helpful information presented in a simple, but effective layout. It is an easy and fast reading, with some very nice and helpful pictures. The author made a good job in creating alternative, healthy menus for almost everyone and in any situation.
I especially like the comparison of good and bad meals. For a restaurant of your choice you can find presentation of good and bad meals with detailed information of why they are either good or bad (calories, fat and sodium content, etc).
Of course, it is not possible to list all restaurants in one book so the author concentrates on the chain restaurants that are predominantly known as fast food places. This is a limitation. The other thing that I noticed is that the primary focus is on a fat/sodium contents of the meals discussed. We all know that carbohydrates are not to be ignored when analyzing foods and their effect on our health. This, in my opinion, is a major shortcoming of the book, and for that reason I am subtracting 1 star from the rating.
Otherwise this is a nicely published and useful reference book and I recommend it for all health-conscious people especially those that watch their weight. "Live 150 -- Your Body Maintenance Handbook" is another very useful title that I highly recommend. Especially useful is the chapter titled: Obesity - Your Worst Enemy. Check it out.
The best!
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.
must have book
Great book for anyone who is watching how and what they eat in any type of restaurant. Great info and photos.Really informative and surprising info on what we eat out and calorie counts . This also allows you to be more informed when you choose where to eat and how to order.
