Product Description
· 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.
· 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!)

Review
“Eat This, Not That! provides its readers with a great service. Romano's Macaroni Grill evaluated every item on its menu for flavor and nutritional responsibility. In fact, one of the previous recipes that needed dramatic improvement, a Scallop Salad, appeared on the Eat This, Not That! segment of the March 9, 2009, Today Show. An improved Seared Sea Scallops & Fresh Spinach Salad recipe was introduced shortly thereafter in June 2009, that contains 85% less Saturated Fat and 66% fewer Calories.”
--Romano's Macaroni Grill - CEO Brad Blum
“Eat This, Not That has always been an industry leader in providing healthy eating/healthy living advice to diners. In order to satisfy customer demand for great tasting, on-the-go food for a healthy lifestyle, Jamba Juice has introduced several new menu options in 2009 including slow cooked oatmeal...and Grab 'n Go wraps, salads and sandwiches that contain no artificial flavors, no preservatives and no high fructose corn syrup. With Eat This, Not That! 2010, you’ll never diet, never go hungry—and never worry about your weight again!”
--Jamba Juice - CEO James White
“David has a whole bunch of these books. This is the brand new 2010 edition. I think these books are brilliant. I was just chitchatting with the audience and just right on the cover, there’s one pizza that’s 2300 calories, and one pizza that’s 610 calories. I mean you just don’t know and they look identical. That’s the premise of this.”

Customer Reviews
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.
Eat This, Not That. Leave the book in sight.
"Eat This, Not That" provides concise information about choosing more nutritious and less fattening foods. It makes it clear that you don't need to DIET to maintain a healthy weight. Here you'll find simple guidelines and tips making it easier to make good food choices whether you're shopping or dining out.
I live with several people struggling with their weight, and was pleased to catch them studying the book after I "accidentally" left it on the coffee table. Whether they benefited or not remains to be seen. In any case, it's definitely a fun read.
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.
