Synopsis

Did you know that choosing one fast-food milk shake over another can save you 2,000 calories? That's right. The difference is an entire day's worth of calories. Make a swap like that once a week and you'll save nearly 30 pounds in one year. And that's just the beginning.

Eat This Not That! The Best (& Worst!) Foods in America! is the culmination of years of dedicated food-industry coverage. It’s also the most comprehensive list of the country’s most dangerous food items – the burgers, salads, pizzas, and beers that can single handedly sabotage an otherwise healthy diet. Do you know which popular restaurant is selling a cocktail with nearly 900 calories? How about the cafe that sells a doughnut with more sugar than two candy bars? Read this book and you’ll discover the food industry’s biggest secrets, and you’ll never approach a restaurant menu the same way again.

Within the pages of this book you’ll find chapters dedicated to America’s best and worst breakfasts, burgers, pizzas, and supermarket foods, as well as best and worst foods for fighting sickness, battling high blood pressure and cholesterol, and keeping blood sugar in check. But as with the other installments of Eat This, Not That!, you’ll also find a cache of life-changing guides, helping you to:

• Understand the additives in the foods you eat. (Just what is MSG, and how dangerous is it, really?)
• Identify the “healthy” foods that are secretly packing your body with excess calories, fat, sugar, and sodium (At one restaurant, you’re better off eating the ribs than the turkey burger!)
• Navigate the mall’s food court. (Save 55 grams of fat by eating an Auntie Anne’s pretzel!)
• Score big in the drive-thru (Cut a thousand calories from your Hardee’s Thickburger!)
