 Make it easier, shop at a healthy store. January 9, 2009
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
These books are great for people who are clueless but I dare say that the "eat this / NOT THAT" choices don't hold up to true science. Why be tempted at the grocery store? We started shopping at Whole Foods and there is virtually NO TEMPTATION because they only stock real WHOLEsome foods. Now I realize they are not everywhere in the USA, but even SAFEWAY has a healthy food area and I'm sure ALL markets will have this sooner or later. The PUBLIC is getting WISER. So why bother with a book like this ... just learn to read the nutrition labels and compare products side by side. Avoid the HYPE and just EAT HEALTHY.
 Great weight and nutrition guide! January 7, 2009

Much work is obviously put into each of the Eat This, Not That guides, and this is the best one. There is so much information on products we all buy in the supermarket, and this makes it so easy to pick the items with the fewest calories. It also lists other information needed to help us make decisions on brands that provide the best nutrition. I use it to plan my shopping trip, matching sales and coupons to the items they recommend. This saves lots of time in the aisles, reading each box or wrapper to make the best choice. The difference in calories among similar types of products is eye-opening, and these choices allow you to save calories while enjoying a wide variety of foods. There is other great information, such as the nutritional value of different types of meat and lots of suggestions for stocking your kitchen. it is set up in a way that makes it easy to access the information you want, as opposed to many general nutrition books that do not discuss individual products. Everyone can find something in this guide that will help them make better grocery decisions, and I highly recommend it to all.
A Must-Have for Healthy and Convenient Grocery Shopping January 7, 2009
As someone who can spend hours browsing and comparing products in the grocery store, this book was like a godsend in many ways. The first few chapters of the book provide introductions to fruits and vegetables, and I love that the author offers what specific foods are good for -- I didn't know that spinach was good for eyesight!
The Eat This, Not That part is also helpful - Zinczenko gives succinct notes about why something is better than the other, and each pair of pages is grouped by category, like cheese, packaged meat, soup, etc. I've found that nearly all of the suggestions are easily available at my local supermarket, unlike other books that advise purchasing obscure products.
I also appreciate that Zinczenko does not suggest many products with artificial sugar as 'healthier' alternatives, which in similar guides might be the basis for diet or fat-free suggestions.
I will never go to the grocery store without this January 6, 2009

If you enjoyed the last Eat This, Not That then wait till you get your hands on this one. The last guide was great, but when you don't eat out often there are only so many times you can use it. Everyone goes to the grocery store so the information in this guide is indispensable.
It's amazing the items you will find on the Not That side. Many of which, seem like they would be the healthy choice. Not so! The Barilla Plus pasta I was so thrilled to have switched to? On the Not That side. You'll also find many wheat breads, "healthy" cereals, granola bars, etc...
It would be hard for me to say enough great things about this book. My girlfriend and I LOVE it and we will never again go shopping without it. It plainly helps you see what you should be getting and all the things that need to be avoided.
This is a guide real people can use. We all like to indulge and have our treats, but do we have to waste 400 calories on mint chocolate chip when there is another non diet brand for 150? It just makes sense.
My favorite features include: The salad bar decoder, The fruit/veggie guide and the sandwich maker. Somehow they make mayo sound like a disgusting addition to a great hoagie when before it was what I always used.
My only complaint is the meat decoder matrix thing. I can't quite understand what those ratings mean. (If you know please feel free to leave a comment. I would much appreciate it.) Also I was a little sad seeing the rabbit listed as a great protein when I have two live rabbits hoping around me. Then, that is just personal opinion and people have the right to eat what they want. Neither of those things effect the 5 star rating for me though.
This book is endlessly fascinating. I keep picking it up and exclaiming things to my other half and she does the same whenever she picks it up. This guide is going to have a very positive effect on what we eat and how we shop.
An Enlightening Book January 4, 2009

I have all three of the books in this series and this is the best. It covers so much material but uses colorful pictures and short informative descriptions. Things like choosing meats using the terms stamped on packages and the color and type, choosing vegetables, spices, fish and lots more are simply shown and explained. Part of the book is like the first book showing which products in most food aisles are better to buy and which are less desirable. Great concept and guide that will at least aid you in loosing weight or eating better.
