Can you imagine eating what you want, when you want it? Can you imagine losing weight in the process? In a single year, Americans alone spend more than $400 billion dollars eating out, and behind every one of these hamburgers, ice cream sundaes and chicken sandwiches is a simple, conscious decision that could actually allow you to control your weight, and to control your life accordingly. Restaurant chains and the producers behind fast foods are not interested in helping you make healthier choices, as they're busy spending $30 billion dollars on advertising investments, and much of it is aimed directly at confusing eaters by describing the nutritional content behind their food products.
Everything is changing, however, with " Eat this, Not that! Thousands of Simple Food Swaps that Can Save You 10, 20, 30 lbs or More!" This book is putting the entire food industry directly under the spotlight, preparing you to make healthy decisions by arming you with savvy tricks that show you which food choices are better than the others. In every eating food situation, you will be the expert, and you will have the power and the resources to make the right, smartest and most nutritionally sound decisions regarding your health and wellness.
This book is absolutely jam packed with the secrets that the food industry doesn't want you to be aware of, like the fact that while an Italian pizza only generally contains 500 to 800 calories, a Pizza Hut pizza can easily top 2,100 calories. The BK Big Fish sandwich with a side of fries can contain as many as 1000 calories, which is half your daily allotment in one barely satiating meal! So what this book aims to do, is put you in a food choice situation, and show you which choice is the better bet. For example, the Hotcakes meal at McDonalds has more than 600 calories, but an Egg McMuffin tops out at only 300, making it a healthier choice. At Krispy Kreme, choosing the Very Berry Chiller drink over the Mocha Dream Chiller will save you 500 calories, and you'll still get a sweet treat with an awesome flavor.
By making these smart choices for the more nutritionally sound food items, you can drop weight quickly and easily without having to diet. Why can't you have the foods you want? Eating out does not have to be completely eliminated from your lifestyle, as long as you are making the healthier, more nutritionally sound choices when you stop by your favorite food joint.

I have read a few of these books and the only thing that bugs me is that they are only geared towards giving you “better” options, some of the options they give you really aren’t healthy, just “better” than the others
I’d have to agree, i recently wrote a blog on what people should eat to lose weight and the foods the 12 mains foods that are right for you but you do need to add a book to these foods in order to keep yourself interested in eating them!
Wow, I knew us Americans loved eating out but 400 billion on eating out, was surprised to here that! Now that’s a lot of calories, gonna grab my i phone – plug in my favorite app the body building game, and get working out after reading this article.
Thanks for the info!
Best,
Tina Marie
