This little gem is brilliant! This book isnt about dieting; its about making better choices. That means choosing foods/drinks that have lower fat, calories and that dont contain as many things that you cant pronounce.
These two guys, associated with the magazine MENS HEALTH, are of the opinion that if you make wise choices most of the time, you will lose weight without having to go on a deprivation diet. We dont put weight on overnight, so we shouldnt expect weight to fall off just because we want it too. All legitimate diet doctors and dieticians harp on the concept that it is better to take weight off slowly this book shows you how.
Ive read most of the books about dieting and yet was in awe of this little tome. On almost every page, I found something I didnt know. Others have talked about the fact that most restaurants, many fast food restaurants and grocery shelves are covered in the book.
Well, there are a few other gems Id like to mention. Theres a menu decoder that takes you through actual menus from a breakfast diner, pizzeria, Mexican restaurant, sports bar, sushi, bbq joint, steakhouse, Indian eatery, tapas café, seafood, Chinese, Thai, salad bar and French bistro. It tells you how items are prepared so you can make better choices.
The final chapter is worth the cost of the book all by itself! What to Eat When you are stressed, you are sad, when you are feeling low on energy, you want to increase metabolism, you want to get some sleep (No, milk isnt suggested. Read why.), when you are hung over, when youre under the weather, and several more.
This little book was such a blockbuster that several more of these books have emerged, including a book specifically for kids, best and worst foods, supermarket survival and others.
