Book Review: Eat This>>Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide: The No-Diet Weight Loss Solution (Rodale, 2009) by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding
Look at the cover of this best seller. Will you choose Haagen-Dazs Mint Chip (300 calories/ 19g fat) or Breyers All Natural Mint Chocolate Chip (150 calories/ 8g fat) ice cream? Is it really all about the choices we make that reduces our waistlines? In part, yes. The other components of weight loss involve exercise and a positive mental attitude.
Eat This>Not That for the supermarket claims to be "The No-Diet Weight Loss Solution." Tied with a reduction of poor emotional eating habits, the idea of NOT dieting to achieve weight loss, is the next new "thing" in the dieting world. The question is, "Do you believe this?"
Authors David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding would have you believe their theory. They are also the authors of two other best sellers, Eat This>>Not That! (loved by my teenage son) and Eat This>>Not That! For Kids.
To Zinczenko and Goulding, the supermarket is a dangerous place--filled with forbidden foods, sold to you with fancy marketing techniques. "The supersizing of the American diet has affected all of our foods, and nowhere is that more apparent than at the supermarket." We, the consumers, are not to blame for our enlarging bodies. Rather, the fault lies with the eye-appealing packaging of food products and the cheap cost of unhealthy foods.
Zinczenko and Goulding write that Americans spend about $542 million on health and fitness books (This must include their series of books.), $18.5 billion on health club memberships, and $5.2 billion on diet foods and weight loss programs yearly. Their bottom line is this, "The food we consume today is simply different from the food that Americans ate 20 or 30 years ago." Backed up with research, Eat This>>Not That provides plenty of ammo points:
* Extra calories have been added to traditional foods. Ex. High fructose corn syrup
* Food products have been supersized. We've come to expect this at our meals. Are we brainwashed?
* Food products now include harmful ingredients. Ex. Trans fat
* Fruits and vegetables are at a reduced nutritional quality. Farming practices are cited as the modern day culprit.
* Meats are different. Today's chicken is higher in fat than it is in protein.
* Drinks include additives and extra calories. I personally recommend water--add a slice of lemon.
* Unknown ingredients have been added to foods. "There are now more than 3,000 ingredients on the FDA's list of `safe' food additives..."
Eat This>>Not That includes quite a bit of data, lists, and hints:
* 5 cheap eats you can't beat
* Exposure of false claims
* 20 worst packaged foods--ex. Eggo Original Syrup is named the worst condiment. ¼ cup is 240 calories and 40 grams of sugar. Use 100% maple syrup if you must flavor your pancakes.
* Hints for choosing the best produce and getting your kids to eat it.
* A salad bar survival guide
* Pointers for choosing poultry, fish, and other meats
* Food additive glossary
* Shop once, eat for a week grocery list and recipes
* 6 rules on how to shop--Stick with the perimeter walls of the store. View the top and lower shelves.
* 11 secrets the food industry doesn't want you to know. This is really an intriguing section. Did you know that canned pineapple may contain up to 20% moldy fruit? And, "Land O'Lakes doesn't want you to know that there's no such thing as `Fat-Free' Half-And-Half."
As our world changes, so does our food supply, leaving us wondering about what we really should be putting into our mouths. This is a book for the college student, those trying to eat more healthily, the teenager, and even the more experienced shopper who can always learn a new trick.
It is obvious that hours and hours of research and lab-testing have gone into the preparation of Eat This>>Not That! Though a follow-up book isn't always as good a work as the first in a series, Eat This>>Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide is a superior book, incorporating more relevant content for consumers across the country. I recommend Eat This>>Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide.

Summary of Eat This Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide: The No-Diet Weight Loss Solution
Much like the waistlines of America, the aisles of your grocery store are straining under the weight of too much food. There are more than 40,000 products lining the shelves of your local supermarket, and with every product comes a whole new host of inflated label claims: ?zero trans fat!? ?Cholesterol free!? ?Good source of 9 vitamins and minerals!? The problem is these claims are just as bogus as the hyped-up foods they?re trying to sell.That?s where Eat This, Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide comes in. It?s your best weapon against the food industry?s effort to obfuscate the truth about the food it?s selling. Building on the popular approach of the Eat This, Not That! book series, co-authors Dave Zinczenko and Matt Goudling have scoured the aisles of the supermarkets of America, and in so doing they?ve discovered that two seemingly similar packages can house foods with vastly different nutritional profiles. They?ve also folded in all-new material that will help you pick the most nutrient-packed produce; the leanest, tastiest cuts of meat; and the least contaminated seafood at the fish counter. In this book you?ll also find:
- 11 Secrets the Food Industry Doesn?t Want You to Know
- 20 Worst Packaged Foods in America
- Answers to The 5 Most Important Questions About Organic Food
- The Ultimate Sandwich Selector
- The Snack Matrix
- The Food Additive Glossary
- And the extended chapter, Drink This, Not That!
With tens of thousands of products crammed into the walls of the neighborhood supermarket, trying to find a reliable snack, pantry product, or frozen dinner can be a serious challenge for the time-strained consumer. The Eat This, Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide changes all of that, offering discerning shoppers everywhere a simple plan for finding the healthiest foods for them and their families. Beyond homing in on the best and worst in the world of packaged foods, the Eat This, Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide scours the aisles to help you pick the most nutrient-packed produce, the leanest, tastiest cuts of meat, exotic cheeses that double as healthy snacks, and the best contaminant-free fish the ocean has to offer.
