| | Customer Reviews: Some strong points -- but doesn't consider taste (06 January 2009)The book has a number of strong points, and it can be valuable in deciding which of two items to select -- provided you think they taste about the same or that taste doesn't matter in the decision. The problem is that the "eat this" choices often aren't as good as the "not that" choices. I'll take on example. For beer, the author suggests various light lagers instead of Sierra Nevada Pale ale. Now, I guess if you are drinking just because you want "beer" but don't care about how it tastes, that might be fine. But if you really base your decision based on flavor -- if, for example, you prefer a hoppy, full-flavor ale, not a rather bland lager -- then this book is not a good guide. If you want to save calories in this case, the real solution is to have two Sierra Nevadas rather than three lite beers. This is one example, but you can find others like it througout the book. Great food handbook. (06 January 2009)I love this book. It is so necessary for traveling and eating out. I found it great for planning to eat at home also. We all need to be food conscious to protect our health. I love it! It's a must buy. Simple and easy to read. Buy it and protect your health. T.Platt So Helpful! (06 January 2009)This book opens your eyes to options. The burger that you've always shied away from turns out to be HEALTHIER than the salad you've been eating everyday for lunch. It's a huge help when you want to eat healthy and all you have for lunch options is fast food. It's not going to help you drop a ton of wait, but it will help you make better decisions when eating out. Wonderful! (04 January 2009)This book is great! It's the easiest way to make healthy food choices while you're out grocery shopping or eating out! This book shows you exactly what not to eat and why and healthy choices you can swap for your favorite foods! HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!!! Best gift I received for the Holiday's (04 January 2009)As I slowly learn more about getting and staying healthy, this book has proven to be a real eye opener. Health is really about becoming educated, and this book does that (for mostly fast food choices) in a way that is easy. With big colorful, side by side pages, of the good things to eat on the left panel, and their worse equivalent on the right panel. (along with several alternate choices for both). The book mainly lists alphabetically, every fast food and casual dining establishment out there. (KFC, Uno, Applebees, Arby's.) You get the picture. The comparisons are peppered with small facts about various topics revolving around food and fat content. Let's face it, sometimes we just don't have time to eat sensibly, and this book educates people and helps steer them toward more healthy choices. It also have a short section for Supermarket item comparisons, specific meals to lean toward during special occasions, and even certain events like going to the movies. (there is a separate book recently released, JUST on Supermarket items) In addition, it summarizes up a broad menu, from each type of restaurant you might go to, (Mexican, Italian, Chinese, etc.) and points out specific items/areas to avoid, and the more healthy options. This is a great little desk reference, that you might want to keep a copy at both home and the office. | |
