Editorial Reviews

Review

I understand how hard it is to eat healthy while traveling. Dr. Steven Aldana and a panel of experts have taken a lot of the guess work out of the issue and have made it easier to make good choices. I realize there are days when you might just want to splurge and ‘go for RED,’ but having an easy to understand guide of the best choices for good health while having to eat on the run is a ‘sweet treat’. (Huckabee, Mike )

Fast food is a reality for most people. Even the most conscientious eaters have to pass through airports and stop at roadside restaurants where healthy choices are limited. Stop and Go offers practical advice to help you navigate the fast food wilderness and make the best possible decisions about what to eat when in it. (Dr. Andrew Weil )

It’s about time a book like this is written! If it does nothing more than generate much needed discussion, it’s worth it. Try it for your guide. (T. Colin Campbell, PhD )

Learning how to make healthier choices is made easier and quicker with this innovative concept. Perfect for the frequent traveler. (Connie Guttersen, RD, PhD )

I think this book is great. It’s a valuable tool for showing people that eating fast foods doesn’t have to ruin your health. The color coding makes it very easy to sort out the good from the bad. (Shereen Jegtvig )

A book like this can do more for the nation’s waistline than a shipload of diet books. If consumers demand healthy fast food, the food industry can be a force for good, not bad. (Professor Jennie Brand-Miller )

Fast food is an indelible part of the typical American diet, and while we nutrition experts generally regret this fact, it is unlikely to change any time soon. In this terrific book, Steve Aldana acknowledges this reality and shows that you can have your fast food and eat well, too! Using very sensible guidelines, he gives you all the information you need to make the most nutritious choices everywhere you go. My advice for those who frequent fast food restaurants, yet care about their health? Don’t leave home without this book in your pocket, handbag, or glove compartment! (David L. Katz, MD, MPH, FACPM, FACP )

As a working mom, and, of course being very health conscious for my family, this nutrition guide is very helpful in providing me the appropriate choices for all of us. This guide is perfect for families that are always 'on the go.' The color-coding is easy to read and will enable me to make healthy food choices quickly and easily. I plan to have one in each of our cars and carry one with me! Thanks for a wonderful guide and for making my job easier! (Rebecca Vinton-Dorn )

I will certainly use and recommend the Stop & Go Fast Food Nutrition Guide. The evidence is compelling and the 'Fast Food Factoids' are great additions throughout the guide, just in case on-the-go individuals skip over the 'Proof.' This is a great quick reference tool to help consumers choose healthier options while on the run. Thank you for persisting to educate Americans on healthy living. (Susan McGreevy, M.Ed. )

Adults need simple and practical tools to maximize their healthy behavior adherence efforts. Stop & Go provides a helpful catalyst in America’s typical reaction to fast food and should be incorporated into every wellness program targeting busy adults. (Aaron Hardy, MS )

Will people suddenly start eating more whole grains, fruits, and veggies? No! But small, positive changes are possible and sustainable. This guide is a user-friendly tool to help consumers start making small, healthier choices today. Every step in a positive direction makes a difference, and this guide can help consumers along the path to better living. I recommend it to all my clients. (Marci Anderson, RD )

The Culprit and the Cure helps my patients learn the science behind what to eat for health. Now The Stop & Go Fast Food Nutritional Guide makes it possible to choose healthy foods on the go in our fast food world. (Roger L. Greenlaw MD )

This book will arm Americans with the information they need to make healthier choices. A fantastic book! I want all the clientele I work with to have a copy. (Patricia Kulbeth, RD )

4.0 out of 5 stars Different kind of scary read, February 7, 2008
This review is from: Stop & Go Fast Food Nutrition Guide (Paperback)
There are books that amuse and a few that shock. But if you partake of fast food in any of its forms - whether a burger joint or upscale chain café - get ready to be dumbfounded. The Stop & Go Fast Food Nutrition Guide by Steven Aldana, Ph.D, shows calories, fat (split into various categories), sodium, and dietary fiber of a wide range of the snacks, meals, and drinks you could find at close to 70 chains ranging from A&W to White Castle. Entries are color-coded in a green, yellow, and red motif to show relative healthiness of of the chow.

Let's take an example or two. Like the Starbucks apple fritter? That's 790 calories, with 37 milligrams of fat and a whopping 830 milligrams of sodium. Death on a dish. A plain old 16 ounce latté? That's a grande at 260 calories. How about a Hardee's Big Country Breakfast Platter with country steak? Just 1150 calories, 455 milligrams of cholesterol, and a completely astounding 2660 milligrams - otherwise known as almost 2.7 grams - of sodium. Personally, I'd double check the numbers for the green, yellow, and red coding: a Subway sweet onion chicken teriyaki 6-inch sub may have only 5 milligrams of fat and 370 calories, but it's got 1220 milligrams of sodium.

Take it with you when you're out and get rid of some weight, because you'll surely lose your appetite.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great if you travel a lot, July 15, 2007
This review is from: Stop & Go Fast Food Nutrition Guide (Paperback)
This book is a great quick guide for various fast food restaurants that allows you to easily pick the items that have acceptable levels of fat, sodium and calories. I travel a great deal and too often end up at a fast food place. I thought I had figured out the calories and fat in various foods such as the Frisco Melt at Steak & Shake. Boy, was I WRONG. This book is now a permanent resident of my car.
