5.0 out of 5 starsThat pie has the same calories as three Big Macs?
By Sean P. Logue VINE VOICE on December 24, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a great book. Slick and attractive, with fantastic full-color pictures. Very well researched too, which is expected coming from the folks behind one of the most densely-packed, informative magazines, Men's Health.

The truth is that casual dining restaurants have higher calorie meals than the much-maligned fast food joints. While the fast food restaurants are now required to publish calorie, fat, and sodium contents, the casual restaurants have been quietly fighting against requiring them to release the same information. Thanks to this book and the research behind it, we can now get a better idea of what we've been eating at these restaurants. And it is eye opening.

Each two page section has a high-calorie, fat trap food on the right, and a healthier alternative on the left. Lots of reasons for why one is a better choice than the other, as well as quick lists of other good choices (and not so good choices) on the left and right.

This simple, but effective layout conveys a ton of information quickly and easily. The sections are by restaurant, and by situation type (like shopping at the mall, or at a holiday party), so it is easy to read and get good ideas for how to make better food choices.

The only negative is that you might never get fries again, after you see all the things you could eat instead and still not hit the calorie count of the fries. Outback's Aussie Cheese Fries have 2900 calories. Wow!

Highly recommended book, even if you aren't trying to lose weight. You'll learn a ton about the foods you are eating at restaurants, which is well worth the price of admission.

2.0 out of 5 starsnot much new information
By tlo515 on October 15, 2012
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I was a little disappointed that this revised for 2013 version just seemed to be information from the other books in the series compiled into this book. I felt the grocery store chapter especially showed the same products from other books. I do enjoy the restaurant comparisions and feel they are quite eye opening. Overall I would not recommend this book if you have read all the other eat this not that books as there is not very much new information. However if you're new to the series I think you will enjoy and learn a lot.

3.0 out of 5 starsIf you *must* eat fast food, this is a handy little book to have.
By DonkaDoo on April 6, 2008
Format: Paperback
PROS
*Easy to carry around. Fits nicely into a purse. Handy on vacation.
*Pretty pictures
*Fun to read
*Easy to use.
*Lots of familiar products/mainstream restaurants included.
*Quickly identifies healthiest items on the menu.

CONS
*Fuzzy Math. Some of the comparisons don't make sense--like turn to the Baskin Robbins section--why is Rocky Road ice cream bad (290 calories, 15gfat (8 sat), 32g sugar), but Two Scoop Hot Fudge Sundae is good (530 calories, 29g fat (19sat) and 52 g of sugar.) WHAT???? I don't get it.

*I wouldn't take the caloric facts as *fact*--For instance under the SONIC section, the authors list the Grilled Chicken Wrap as only having 380 calories but fails to mention that this is without dressing. Double check the caloric content on the restaurant's website before eating.

*Contradictory. Apparently, Goldfish crackers are bad when they're coming from a vending machine (p. 193) but good when coming off a store shelf. (216).

4.0 out of 5 starsVery practical, helpful book
By telmar on January 10, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I really like the core message of this book... A year ago I started calorie counting but got sick of it very quickly, then I bought Dr. Shapiro's Picture Perfect Weight Loss: The Visual Program for Permanent Weight Loss which has a very similar strategy to this book's - showing you pictures of good and bad choices of similar styles or calorie counts.

From a year ago I've lost 35 lb, I'm basically at my ideal weight, and I haven't had the slightest bit of trouble keeping it off and I don't feel like I'm "dieting". In fact, I feel like I enjoy what I'm eating far more than ever before - I'm very impressed! I picked this book up because I'm pretty food-conscious now and I like to be aware of additional practical healthy choices.

What I like about this book compared to the Dr. Shapiro one is that it's extremely practical - at one point a Quarter Pounder is recommended as a "healthy" choice. I'd more or less agree with this approach; I think things like burgers can be healthy, filling options if you know what you're doing - whereas a Dr. Shapiro would have you eliminate all meat from your diet.

Where I think this book falls down a little bit is if you were trying to put together a mental "theme" of what to eat and what not to eat based on this book, you really couldn't. Sometimes shrimp is shown as a healthy option, sometimes it's not. Sometimes you're better off eating a turkey burger, sometimes you're not. It comes out after reading a bunch of suggestions that you shouldn't eat fries or mayo - but you still get the feeling that it's a bit potluck. The Dr.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat new edition!
By MM on September 14, 2011
Format: Paperback
Love this series! I just went out and bought this edition today. As a busy mom with three kids, they cover all the bases--home, restaurants, shopping. It's like a cookbook, grocery list, and takeout menu drawer rolled into one book. And believe it or not, it works--it's like I can lose weight without even thinking about it...17 pounds since buying my first book! I also love that they cover more than just diet tips and focus on eating better overall--it blends weight loss for me with overall health for my family. Plus, the recipes are so cheap and delicious. Do yourself a favor and order one ASAP--you'll be hooked too!
