Americans spend more than $500 billion a year eating out, and behind each burger, turkey sandwich, and ice cream sundae is a simple decision that could help you control your weight--and your life. The problem is, restaurant chains and food producers aren't interested in helping you make healthy choices. In fact, they invest $30 billion a year on advertising, much of it aimed at confusing eaters and disguising the fat and calorie counts of their products. Thankfully Eat This, Not That! Restaurant Survival Guide is here to help. It’s the first book in the Eat This, Not That! series to focus solely on burger shacks, pizza parlors, pasta joints, breakfast diners, Mexican cantinas, Chinese eateries, drive-thrus, and coffee shops. With in-depth coverage of 80 of the biggest restaurant chains in the country, it arms you with the information you need to take control of your diet and sidestep the egregious calorie-landmines that are secretly sabotaging your chances of losing weight. And why would restaurants do such a thing? Because people keep buying. The top brass at any restaurant knows that the more food that goes onto the plate, the more drastically the customers will underestimate the caloric heft. That’s why the average cheeseburger has 136 more calories today than it did in the 1970s and why two-thirds of the country is now overweight or obese.
Additional features in Eat This, Not That! Restaurant Survival Guide include:
· Restaurant Report Card: America’s Best and Worst Restaurants
· The Menu Decoder: rules for navigating any menu in the country
· The Buffet Survival Guide
· The New Rules of Eating Out
· 50 Great Restaurant Meals under 500 Calories
· Money- (and Calorie-) Saving Guide to Making Your Favorite Restaurant Meals—at Home!
Loaded with tips on everything from navigating neighborhood restaurant menus to making smart choices in the drive-thru to cutting cash and calories at the country’s largest chain restaurants, Eat This, Not That! Restaurant Survival Guide is the indispensable encyclopedia to the world of eating out.

| I really like the Eat this Not That series of book and this restaurant guide really hits the spot with me. Because I love to eat out so much, I needed something that would help me during those times. This guide does. It tells you how to eat in a restaurant as well as what to eat in a restaurant. I was very happy to read this and implement these ideas from the author. A must have for anyone who wants to lose weight but still enjoy their food. I would also recommend Goodbye, Fatty! Hello, Skinny! How I Lost Weight And Still Ate The Foods I Loved-Without Dieting. |
Great info!

| I have bought all of the books this author has come out with. They have alot of information we can all use to make healthier choices. Many of the foods we choose thinking they sound healthy are indeed NOT! This book has been a huge help. |

| purchased these books for my husband, who is a firm believer in not dieting but realized he needed to change his eating habits- he loves these books- finds that just having the information available in an easy to understand way, is helping him make better choices- I'm finding that it is helping me also to make healthier decisions also. |
Great info.

| Gives great insights into restaurant and supermarket food. The things you think are good for your aren't and vice versa. Great book to make you aware of things that aren't so obvious and gives good suggestions on healthy choices. |

| This has become my travel guide when dining out; would not leave home without it. There are so many misleading dishes that one would choose if it wasn't for the information shared in this book. A must buy for those wishing to make wise choices and still manage to lose unwanted pounds. |
Eat this not.....

| These books are the very best. My daughter lost two pounds in a couple of weeks by just changing her yogurt to the Greek yogurt and her breakfasts to what these books recommended. Wow. The recipes are delicious. The recommendations are common sense. We need teaching now and then since lifestyles are so very different from when I was a child. Family meals together and home cooked. No snacks and snack items kept in the house. I never had a weight problem until all that ended with lifestyle changes. These books are easy to read and well illustrated with simple recipes and suggestions. This restaurand one is a treasure. Little changes, big, healthy weight loss. How could that not be good? |
