I will never go to the grocery store without this January 6, 2009
If you enjoyed the last Eat This, Not That then wait till you get your hands on this one. The last guide was great, but when you don't eat out often there are only so many times you can use it. Everyone goes to the grocery store so the information in this guide is indispensable. br /br /It's amazing the items you will find on the Not That side. Many of which, seem like they would be the healthy choice. Not so! The Barilla Plus pasta I was so thrilled to have switched to? On the Not That side. You'll also find many wheat breads, "healthy" cereals, granola bars, etc...br /br /It would be hard for me to say enough great things about this book. My girlfriend and I LOVE it and we will never again go shopping without it. It plainly helps you see what you should be getting and all the things that need to be avoided. br /br /This is a guide real people can use. We all like to indulge and have our treats, but do we have to waste 400 calories on mint chocolate chip when there is another non diet brand for 150? It just makes sense. br /br /My favorite features include: The salad bar decoder, The fruit/veggie guide and the sandwich maker. Somehow they make mayo sound like a disgusting addition to a great hoagie when before it was what I always used. br /br /My only complaint is the meat decoder matrix thing. I can't quite understand what those ratings mean. (If you know please feel free to leave a comment. I would much appreciate it.) Also I was a little sad seeing the rabbit listed as a great protein when I have two live rabbits hoping around me. Then, that is just personal opinion and people have the right to eat what they want. Neither of those things effect the 5 star rating for me though. br /br /This book is endlessly fascinating. I keep picking it up and exclaiming things to my other half and she does the same whenever she picks it up. This guide is going to have a very positive effect on what we eat and how we shop.

An Enlightening Book January 4, 2009
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I have all three of the books in this series and this is the best. It covers so much material but uses colorful pictures and short informative descriptions. Things like choosing meats using the terms stamped on packages and the color and type, choosing vegetables, spices, fish and lots more are simply shown and explained. Part of the book is like the first book showing which products in most food aisles are better to buy and which are less desirable. Great concept and guide that will at least aid you in loosing weight or eating better.

Change your food buying equation from "Buy This, Not That" to "Eat This, Not That" January 3, 2009
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

For starters, any book that explains how to stock a pantry sensibly in our time constrained world deserves five gold stars and a place on my bookshelf, or kitchen counter in this case. Eat This, Not That does this and so much more. br /br /I have long stood in grocery aisles trying to discern the chem-lab labeling for the can in my hand. This book puts real purchasing and health powers into your shopping equation - for you. I dare say the book makes the money in your wallet greener and healthier to buy food with at the emporium. br /br /Frankly, the food and grocery companies have the total advantage over shoppers. They spend hundreds of billions of dollars each year to convince us to Buy This, Not That - based on their bottom lines not your waist line. This book helps the consumer balance the equation with shopping-carts full of nutritious facts and recommendations. br /br /The food companies put additives of unknown origins/purposes into our food, ostensibly to preserve its shelf life, artificially enhance its coloring or flavor, prevent congealing, and a hundred other reasons not necessarily good to eat. br /br /How do we know what is good for us? Is the label pretty? Do we remember the ad? Do we buy it because our mothers bought it (and who admits to questioning their mothers)? Cheaper or more expensive pricing/branding campaigns are gimmicks and don't necessarily give us healthy.br /br /Arm yourself with Eat This, Not That. The grocery aisles are stocked against us. This book helps us win the Food Wars.

Best nonfiction of the year? January 3, 2009
10 out of 10 found this review helpful

I know, that sounds like a wild claim. And I'm surprised I wrote it.br /br /I own both of the previous Eat This Not That books (Thousands of Simple Food Swaps, For Kids!), so when I noticed this one was about to come out I decided to skip it. What more could it offer than what was already covered in the other two?br /br /Then, tonight, I went shopping for food with my teenage daughter at Target. We spotted this in the little book section and, at her urging, picked it up and glanced through it.br /br /What a great book! So helpful! So useful! Yes, if it keeps my husband healthy and my daughter enthused about nutrition, it gets my vote as best nonfiction book of 2008. I read about every day, and no book in the past year has struck me as a Must Buy as much as this one.br /br /The reason? It's ENTIRELY focused on foods sold at supermarkets -- every item on every page is something readily accessible to you. And since every item is captioned with its relevant nutritional information, you get the benefit, in essence, of having read every tiny ingredients list on every item at your grocery store, all of it right in front of you in a little book that will fit in a decent-sized purse. By comparison, the earlier titles had less detailed grocery sections, as well as lots of stuff about fast food chains and table-service franchise restaurants, material that is useful only if you frequent those particular places.br /br /In this book, every page has valuable content for anyone who shops at a supermarket -- so much, in fact, it's tough to determine just what to highlight in this review. Every time I flip through the book I come across useful, surprising information. For example, right now I'll randomly open it a few times and learn why....br /br /1) Fruit Loops are better for you than Apple Cinnamon Cheerios...br /br /2) Regular Cheerios is a better choice than Smart Start...br /br /3) Regular Quick 1 minute Quaker Oats is healthier than Quaker's Simple Harvest Multigrain hot cereal...br /br /4) Dole pineapple cups are more nutritious than Dole mixed fruit cups...br /br /5) Del Monte pear halves beat Del Monte sliced pears...br /br /I could go on forever.br /br /By the way, not all the pages are side-by-side product comparisons. One spread, titled "The Meat Matrix," compares the nutritional value of a variety of meats, everything from pork to ostrich. Another, titled "The Perfect Refrigerator," displays a perfectly stocked healthy fridge. My daughter was especially interested in a spread titled "The Snack Matrix," which shows which combination of snack items (fruit, peanut butter, cottage cheese) mix well together for both nutrition and taste. Another section discusses how to store fresh fruits and produce and explains why fresh food is better for you. br /br /Until now, I have never used the title "Best book of the year" in my Amazon reviews. But this one, in my opinion, just might live up to that claim.

A Super Guide to Weight Loss January 1, 2009
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

A couple of years ago David was a guest on my radio show, Turn On Your Inner Light, with his book, "The Abs Diet." I was a bit suspicious as there is no such thing as spot reducing. However, during the interview David really knew his stuff, advocating a targeted approach consisting of diet, aerobics and strength training. Now in this book, "Eat This Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide" he is helping us navigate the supermarket aisles which contains products with many misleading labels; paricularly, the reader can learn that "organic" does not always mean healthy. A great many diet books talk about phyto-nutrients, lycopenes, luteins, anthocyanins, etc. I much prefer looking at a rainbow array of fruits and vegetables to get the nutrients I need - simpler and right on the mark. David does this with products like cereals, cheeses and frozen meals. I thought I knew it all, but I learned a thing or two! By the way I use supermarket time as an opportunity for exercise, squats for the items on the bottom shelves and while waiting on line, I nonchalantly grab a magazine and do calf raises!
