Eat This Not That by David Zinczenko

This is a diet/health book.  I saw the author on Oprah and it looked interesting.  The book does have a ton of interesting facts, such as you save over 200 calories by eating a Big Mac over a Whopper with Cheese, that it is almost always less calories to get mashed potatoes and gravy than fries, that an egg mcmuffin is less calories and better for  you than the bagel and crème cheese.  However, the way the book is set up, with a page of eat this food and not that foods, sometimes is limiting.  It doesn’t always say why you shouldn’t eat something, just gives the calorie numbers.  I almost bought this book, but ended up getting it from the library and am glad.  The book does give me some things to think about (the fact that not one Ruby Tuesday burger is under 750 calories - ouch) and a couple ideas to change, but for me it is a one-time read, not a life-style change. Totals – 32 -21 Harlequin, 9 Non-Harlequin, 2 audio, 1 re-read                                         TBR Challenge – 8 out of 30                                                                                                          TBR2 Challenge – Books Acquired – 20 books, 20 books read, 10 library books (30 total print)
