Eat This Not That! is a terrific little book that is a restaurant guide for saving hundred of calories per meal. Author David Zinczenko shows how to swap food choices to save calories and lose weight without feeling deprived. Unlike most diet books, Eat This, Not That! doesn't have a meal plan to follow, nor does it ask you to cut out certain food groups. The goal of this book is to get dieters to make better food choices to save calories, making weight loss a reality.

Eat This Not That! includes helpful information on:
  • Lower calorie fast food choices
  • A holiday survival guide
  • Best and worst foods
  • Advice on what to buy at the grocery store
  • Advice for foods kids should eat
  • Tips on when to eat
The Book's Design
One of the reason's I like this book so much is how it is laid out. It is easy to read, fun and colorful. Every page is filled with pictures of food so you get a clear visual on the foods you are swapping. The 'Eat This' foods have a big green arrow, while the red arrows indicate the' Not That' foods.

Side Bars in Eat This Not That!
Another thing I like about the book is the sidebars. There are sections labeled Guilty Pleasure, Little Trick Weapon of Mass Destruction Menu Decoder and Hidden Danger. Each swap is also clearly accompanies by the amount of calories you'll save by eating this and not that.

I recommend this handy little calorie-saving book for everyone. There are times when we all like to indulge. Eat This Not That! makes you feel like you are indulging without taking in as many calories. Stop feeling guilty about eating and stat eating this, not that.

I didn't realize that this book came out so long ago. I thought it was new this year. I'd like to browse through it to see if I want to buy it. Nice review!

Sounds like a really helpful book.

very nice review, a grocery list would be nice or even just a few pages to tear out to write the list as you read.
