Eat This, Not That

[Ivy]

Has anyone purchased this book and what did you think about it? I know it's not exactly on clean eating, but I felt it could be helpful when your eating fastfood to know how much you are really packing in and what a good alternative might be.

I have them all and love them! They aren't clean eating as you said, but it is very surprising some of the *this* and *that* Also it is straight up shocking to see what the calorie totals of many common restaurant foods are! Worth the investment IMO! Some of the info overlaps so if you just had the newest edition it would probably be a great start.

I have two of them and my kids (12 and 10) really like them. It's a fun way of educating them without lecturing them. And gives them practical advice when they are out with friends, etc.

For me - I don't eat most of what is in the book anyway - but I think they have a lot of common sense, good advice and some surprises too.

I saw David Zinczenco on Bonnie Hunt this morning. I was so impressed that I went to Borders to look at them today. I was so impressed. I was shocked at some of the calorie counts for many of the restaurant meals. I am planning on adding several of them to my library.

I have read one of the books from the library. I was surprised of some of the foods were not as healthy as I thought.

Wow! Thanks for all the good suggestions. I'm definitely going out to get the latest addition. Like someone had mentioned, every now and then we purchase some of these foods for our kids, and it would be nice to know which foods are lower in calories and still give the kids the lower calorie options, for myself too.

Another book along the same lines but BETTER IMO is "Eat This & Live" by Don Colbert. This may fall morealong the lines of clean eating. Very informational book, one of those books you want to go out & buy for everyone!!!
