 - Has Saved Me Many Times!I have to say this is one of the best gifts I have ever been given. It's really perfect if you are on a diet, or if you are just trying not to eat yourself to death! It's such a lifesaver! My only complaint is that they should come out with a new one!!! Rating: - Simple Guide To C*H*O*O*S*I*N*G The Right Meal! The EAT THIS NOT THAT! book by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding is a simple and handy guide book that helps all of us who dine out pick meals that are better for our waist lines. When you see how much fat and calories are in some of the most popular dishes ordered at restaurants and fast food places, you'll stay away! Some meals have more than half a days worth of calories and about three times the amount of fat a person should have in one day. No wonder everyone is losing the battle of the bulge. The book is arranged in alphabetical order by restaurant's names and color coded by categories: Favorite Restaurants, Menu Decoder, Holidays and Special Occasions, Supermarket, Drinks, Mood Food, and For Kids(this section is only 6-pages long, but they have Eat This Not That! for Kids!: Be the Leanest, Fittest Family on the Block! for that). And the book is small enough to fit in a purse or briefcase to take on the go, but you probably won't have to do that since you can zero in on a few of your favorite haunts and see what the best choices they have on the menu. What I like about the book is the simplicity of it all. One side of the page shows the worst thing you can eat and the other side shows you the best choices you can make at your favorite diner. There's also a menu decoder that teaches you exactly what all those terms are at different types of restaurants from "Breakfast Diners" to "Sushi Bars." With EAT THIS NOT THAT!, we're empowered to make smarter choices when it comes to eating out and that should help shrink our ever expanding waists. And we can do that by ordering smarter and not just dry salads. I highly recommend this book.

Clever illustrations break up the food and serving related facts that we all benefit from being familiar with.
