Two years after the runaway success of the original Eat This, Not That!, co-authors Matt and Dave noticed an interesting trend: Restaurants were actually cleaning up their menus! With consumers avoiding the country’s worst calorie offenses, some restaurants saw fit to remove them from the menu entirely. Consider this: · After Chili’s Awesome Blossom took the runner-up spot on the “Worst Foods in America” list, Chili’s removed the appetizer from their menu entirely. · 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. The problem is, as the old crop of calorie atrocities were eliminated, a new army of gut-bombs emerged in their place. That’s why the authors created Eat This, Not That! 2010, to empower you with the knowledge to battle a food industry bent on sabotage your waistline with unwanted and unnecessary calories. In this new-and-expanded edition, you’ll find fresh restaurant and supermarket comparisons, an encyclopedia of food packaging lies, and the invaluable guide to eating healthy on a budget. Essentially you’ll learn how to make effortless food swaps that will help you strip away 10, 20, 30 pounds or more. Did you know: · 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!)

Great series, constantly updated -- but does accuracy suffer in the process?Oct 29, 2009
By Ramoth I love this book, its organization, its attitude; but my confidence in it was shaken when I came upon (p. 195) Hellmann's Light Mayonnaise, a household staple of mine, classified as a "Not That" because it allegedly contained 90 calories and 10 grams of fat.
Those are the stats for regular Hellmann's! Hellmann's Light actually has 35 calories and 3.5 grams of fat.
The "Eat This Not That" franchise has morphed quickly into quite a juggernaut, with updates published frequently. What a job this must be! But have the multiple editions come at the cost of the accuracy we (and Oprah!) depend on the ZincZenko/Goulding team for?
Guys, please, at least put an "Erratum" page on your website.

Great addition to the seriesOct 23, 2009
By Jolene M. Williams
"pittstonjoma"
This is a great addition to the series, with updated information and more ways to lose weight. There are also new recipes in here, which is great! I'm glad they came out with a new one because I was curious as to how various new products I have seen in the supermarket have fared. I have lost 45 pounds by using the information in the older books. If you're going to get this book, and you cook at home all the time like I do, you should also purchase the Supermarket Survival Guide. There are more recipes in there, and you will also learn a great deal about what you're really eating when you buy something from the supermarket. I really wish that the 2010 edition focused more on supermarket food because I almost never eat out, but they did a great job with this book. I highly recommend this series to anyone who wants to lose weight or just eat better food, because, you will absolutely lose weight if you use this information.
If you do eat out, this book is also great, because they even give the restaurants grades. Just going to a different restaurant can help you in the battle against the bulge, and with obesity rates on the rise, we need all the help we can get!

Eat This and Not ThatFeb 10, 2010
By Michael McGill
"EmTwo"
Simple, no nonsence guide to help you make intelligent choices in what you eat. It's not a book to just be read, but to be constantly referred to; I keep my copy in my backpack, and consult it often. But let me warn you; some of the revelations are going to shock you. For instance; did you know that at Cold Stone creamery, EVERY drink one of their regular line of shakes contains a MINIMUM of 1,000 calories, 92 Grams of Sugar, and 1.5 grams of trans fat? And that's just for their Small Shake! Did you know that pre-made guacamole can contain as little as 2% of Avacado? That Turkey Bacon isn't any better for you than Pork Bacon? Neither did I! But these facts, as well as thousands of others, are all readily available in ETNT.

Eat This Not That!Mar 15, 2010
By Sonjia Williams
"olive oil"
I love this book! I've even made some of the recipes at the end and they were great! I've been on a mission to lose weight and eat better as well as encourage my husband to do the same. He's not as commited and disciplined as I am for weight loss or eating better, but as a result of my following the suggestions in this book for myself, my husband benefits without even trying! I'm so stoked by the information in this book that I plan to purchase the grocery shopping edition.

Amazing book.Aug 01, 2010
By John McClane I bought this book (last year's edition) and lost 50 lbs. (with exercise). I went from 230 lbs. to 180 lbs in 6 months. Basically it's just simple food swaps. What I like about this book the most is they're NOT telling you to NOT go to any fast food places. But if you're going to go there anyways to eat, just "eat this, not that!". If the book was just a list of food you can't eat, I would've never bought it. Telling you you can't have this or that to eat is horrible. If you can't eat things without being given replacement things you'll never lose weight because you'll feel constantly deprived. They give you simple swaps anyone can do. I cut out a lot of cheese and the pounds were just coming off. No lie. This book was ESSENTIAL to my weight loss. HIGHLY recommended!
