Did you know the average dinner from a chain restaurant costs nearly $35 a person and contains more than 1,200 calories? Thatâs hard on your wallet and your waistline, and few people understand this better than the authors of Eat This, Not That! After years of helping consumers navigate Americaâs daunting culinary landscape â and literally thousands of weight-loss success stories â Dave and Matt have finally turned their nutritional savvy to the place with the greatest impact â your kitchen. The hundreds of recipes contained inside this book will help you and your loved ones eliminate body fat, get in shape, and lead fitter, happier lives.
But make no mistake â this is no rice-and-tofu cookbook. The genius of Cook This, Not That! is that it teaches you how to save hundreds â sometimes thousands â of calories by recreating Americaâs most popular restaurant dishes, including Outback Steakhouseâs Roasted Filet with Port Wine Sauce, Uno Chicago Grillâs Individual Deep Dish Pizza, and Chiliâs Fire Grilled Chicken Fajita. Alongside this youâll find other priceless advice, such as:
· The 37 Ways to Cook a Chicken Breast, A Dozen 10-Minute Pasta Sauces, The Ultimate Sandwich Matrix, and other on-the-go cooking tips. · Scorecards that let you easily compare the nutritional quality of the carbohydrates, fats, and proteins that go into building every meal you eat. · The truth about how seemingly healthy foods such as wheat bread, salmon, and low-fat snacks are secretly sabotaging your health.
Eat All Your Favorite FoodsâAnd Watch the Pounds Disappear!
Two years after the runaway success of the original Eat This, Not That!, co-authors Matt and Dave noticed an interesting trend: Restaurants were actually cleaning up their menus! With consumers avoiding the countryâs worst calorie offenses, some restaurants saw fit to remove them from the menu entirely. Consider this:
· After Chiliâs Awesome Blossom took the runner-up spot on the âWorst Foods in Americaâ list, Chiliâs removed the appetizer from their menu entirely. · Pepperidge Farm followed suit after being placed on the Worst Foods list and discontinued their Roasted Chicken Pot Pie. · When Jamba Juice earned a citation on the Worst Drinks in America list, the chain stopped serving the largest size of their Chocolate Mooâd smoothie and recommitted itself to becoming one of the healthiest restaurant chains in the nation.
The problem is, as the old crop of calorie atrocities were eliminated, a new army of gut-bombs emerged in their place. Thatâs why the authors created Eat This, Not That! 2010, to empower you with the knowledge to battle a food industry bent on sabotage your waistline with unwanted and unnecessary calories. In this new-and-expanded edition, youâll find fresh restaurant and supermarket comparisons, an encyclopedia of food packaging lies, and the invaluable guide to eating healthy on a budget. Essentially youâll learn how to make effortless food swaps that will help you strip away 10, 20, 30 pounds or more.
